I dug into this a little bit: the problem is that https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/main/client/src/utils/format.js relies on a fallback https://github.com/browserify/node-util when running in the browser. This fallback does not know how to handle sets or maps and just returns
{}.If anyone wants to work on this, the obvious approach is to check if the input is an
instanceofSetorMapand then write some custom code to format them.I take it we are leaving this open, as tests should probably be added?
