Error: urlStr + ' is an invalid LDAP url (scope)'

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am using this very simple code to connect to LDAP but no matter what i keep on getting the following error:

var ldap = require('ldapjs'); 
var client = ldap.createClient({url:'ldap://openam.sandbox.local:10389'}); 
client.bind('cn=DM', 'test', function(err) {
  if (err){
    console.log("not able to connect")
  }     else      { 
    console.log("connected successfully")
  }
});

I am using mac.

URL.parse has been deprecated since Node.js 11 – https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstring_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost

URL.URL was added in Node.js 10 – https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/url.html#url_class_url

Please provide a minimal reproduction if you are encountering this error with Node.js >= 10 and ldapjs >= 2.

I’m using ldapjs 2.3.3 and node 18.12.0 but still encoutering the same error in ldap.createClient. I tried to console log url.parse and that works but url.URL seems to not. while parsing using URL hostname and port are null and everyting is getting added to pathname only.
