Bug: Error when running npx tsx ./scripts/githooks/check-localstorage-usage.ts on Windows

[hustlernik]

Describe the bug

Running the command npx tsx ./scripts/githooks/check-localstorage-usage.ts on Windows produces an error:

Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data, and node are supported by the default ESM loader.
This prevents the script from functioning as expected on Windows systems.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use Node.js version 18.17.1 on a Windows environment.
Run npx tsx ./scripts/githooks/check-localstorage-usage.ts.
Observe the error output in the terminal.

Expected behavior

The script should execute successfully on Windows, just as it does on other operating systems, without throwing any errors.

Actual behavior

The script fails with the following error:
Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data, and node are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs.

Screenshots

Additional details

1. This error might be related to the way absolute paths are handled on Windows.
2. Potential workaround or fix could involve converting Windows paths to file:// URLs before passing them to the ESM loader.
3. Ensure compatibility across all operating systems when addressing this issue.

Instead of running the script with npx tsx, try using node directly:
node --loader tsx ./scripts/githooks/check-localstorage-usage.ts

1. That means the GitHub Action isn't compatible with all OSes. If contributors use the code there for evaluating their work, we'll continue to get the issue
   
2. We ideally need a universal solution to the GitHub action

Can we use a built-in Node.js tool (pathToFileURL) to change C:\path\to\file into file:///C:/path/to/file. This makes it work with ESM or we can also use unix style path this will work on all OS.

[palisadoes]

It needs to work on all operating systems
