importing mongoose just breaks execution

Question

the line that causes the problem is jus importing mongoose into the code const mongoose = require("mongoose")

and it drops the error:

C:\Users\libor\OneDrive\Escritorio\todo\dev\Aplay\proyectos\mustang-oneclic\node_modules\mongodb\lib\operations\add_user.js:16
        this.options = options ?? {};
                                ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '?'

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1027:10)

if I remove the require( line the error doesn't apear

there is nothing interacting with mongodb nor mongoose, I have no clue what is happening

I tried installing mongodb in my pc again and removing the mongoose inport, nothing else is interacting with mongoose I expected it to import like normal

Answer 1

I fixed it It ended up being that the mongoose version was ahead of my node version, thus causing errors for using features my version doesn't have mongoose:"^7.4.1" node: v12.22.1

now I'm using: mongoose:"^5.9.20"
