What is the problem this feature will solve?

Node.js developers use import ... assert { ... } syntax, that might be removed in a future version.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Months ago, the import attributes proposal changed its keyword from assert to with. The assert keyword is still around because Chrome already shipped it, but we are actively working on removing it in the future.

The future of assert in Node.js was discussed in #46830, and there was wide support for re-flagging the old syntax. However, everybody forgot about it and nothing was done for the Node.js 20 release. Node.js 21 will be released next week, so there is a chance to do it now.

V8 now implements the with syntax, behind the --harmony-import-attributes flag. This syntax is already supported in other server-side environments, such as Deno and Bun.

The only reason with is still flagged in Chrome is because they are waiting for the full semantics to be there in the Chromium side, and whatwg/html#9486 still needs to be implemented. This HTML PR has minimal impact on Node.js (it only has impact when using HTTP imports), and it will be implemented by #50119.

I propose to unflag with in Node.js 21, and either:

  • re-flag assert, or
  • add a deprecation warning when assert is used, and re-flag it in 22

What alternatives have you considered?

Wait for the day Chrome will be done migrating, the syntax will be removed in V8 and there will be no action needed on the Node.js side to disable it :P

I don't think there's anything that can be done regarding deprecation from Node.js side, the syntax of JS is dictated by the ECMAScript spec, which is not under Node.js control (TC39 is the editor of the spec). FWIW the assert keyword has never been part of the spec, it's only a stage-3 proposal.

When it comes to enabling with rather than assert, than sounds really good to me, would you like to open a PR?

I'm not sure what you mean by this given that the TC39 proposal marks assert as deprecated, but thanks for opening the PR!

I think the confusion comes from the fact that Node.js has a deprecation cycle process that wouldn't make sense in this case, and you are using the word "deprecate" to mean something else. Not very important, I'll rename the issue to avoid the confusion.

The old import assertions proposal has been
renamed to "import attributes" with the follwing major changes:

1. The keyword is now `with` instead of `assert`.
2. Unknown assertions cause an error rather than being ignored,

This commit updates the documentation to encourage folks to use the new
syntax, and add aliases for module customization hooks.

vm: fix V8 compilation cache support for vm.Script:

Previously repeated compilation of the same source code using `vm.Script`
stopped hitting the V8 compilation cache after v16.x when support for
`importModuleDynamically` was added to `vm.Script`, resulting in a performance
regression that blocked users (in particular Jest users) from upgrading from
v16.x.

The recent fixes allow the compilation cache to be hit again
for `vm.Script` when `--experimental-vm-modules` is not used even in the
presence of the `importModuleDynamically` option, so that users affected by the
performance regression can now upgrade. Ongoing work is also being done to
enable compilation cache support for `vm.CompileFunction`.

Experimental node-api feature flags

Introduces an experimental feature to segregate finalizers that affect GC state.
A new type called `node_api_nogc_env` has been introduced as the const version
of `napi_env` and `node_api_nogc_finalize` as a variant of `napi_finalize` that
accepts a `node_api_nogc_env` as its first argument.

This feature can be turned off by defining
`NODE_API_EXPERIMENTAL_NOGC_ENV_OPT_OUT`.

vm: fix V8 compilation cache support for vm.Script:

Previously repeated compilation of the same source code using `vm.Script`
stopped hitting the V8 compilation cache after v16.x when support for
`importModuleDynamically` was added to `vm.Script`, resulting in a performance
regression that blocked users (in particular Jest users) from upgrading from
v16.x.

The recent fixes allow the compilation cache to be hit again
for `vm.Script` when `--experimental-vm-modules` is not used even in the
presence of the `importModuleDynamically` option, so that users affected by the
performance regression can now upgrade. Ongoing work is also being done to
enable compilation cache support for `vm.CompileFunction`.

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>nodejs/node (node)</summary>

### [`v18.20.0`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases/tag/v18.20.0): 2024-03-26, Version 18.20.0 &#x27;Hydrogen&#x27; (LTS), @&#8203;richardlau

[Compare Source](nodejs/node@v18.19.1...v18.20.0)

##### Notable Changes

##### Added support for import attributes

Support has been added for import attributes, to replace the old import
assertions syntax. This will aid migration by making the new syntax available
across all currently supported Node.js release lines.

This adds the `with` keyword which should be used in place of the previous
`assert` keyword, which will be removed in a future semver-major Node.js
release.

For example,

```console
import "foo" assert { ... }
```

should be replaced with

```console
import "foo" with { ... }
```

sercher added a commit to sercher/graaljs that referenced this issue Apr 25, 2024
The old import assertions proposal has been
renamed to "import attributes" with the follwing major changes:

1. The keyword is now `with` instead of `assert`.
2. Unknown assertions cause an error rather than being ignored,
