Quickstart example does not work (SyntaxError: Named export 'findNvim' not found. The requested module 'neovim' is a CommonJS module...)

I tried following the Quickstart example exactly e.g. run npm i neovim
in a new empty folder, paste contents of the quickstart example to a demo.mjs
file, and run node demo.mjs
. Getting the following error:
import { attach, findNvim } from 'neovim'
^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'findNvim' not found. The requested module 'neovim' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:
import pkg from 'neovim';
const { attach, findNvim } = pkg;

When I tried doing what the error msg suggested e.g.
// import { attach, findNvim } from 'neovim'
import pkg from 'neovim';
const { attach, findNvim } = pkg;
I now get this error:
const found = findNvim({ orderBy: 'desc', minVersion: '0.9.0' })
^

Ok, I see that this is because i'm using 4.11.0 and in master findNvim
was originally getNvimFromEnv
. Quick start example works when I update the import to use getNvimFromEnv
instead of findNvim
.
I don't see a tag for 4.11.0 though FYI.

Yeah I need to do another release, sorry for the confusion.
