@olleharstedt The JavaScript code is interpreted by Node.js, not QUnit.

Refer to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ for how to download or upgrade your Node.js installation. If you originally installed it from a package manager (like apt-get, or Homebrew), then check https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager instead.

You can use MDN to learn which browsers and Node.js version support a JavaScript feature. For example, Private class properties were first released in Node.js 14.6.
