A possible workaround: Manually downgrade cheerio to 1.0.0-rc.10 works.

I used yarn and the following package.json

{
  "name": "adr",
  "scripts": {
    "adr": "log4brains"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "log4brains": "^1.0.0-beta.11"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "cheerio": "1.0.0-rc.10"
  }
}

Hi!

Fixed in v1.0.0-beta.12 by pinning a fixed version of cheerio directly in the project, as suggested in your workaround ; thank you for this!

Also, to avoid similar incidents in the future, I created this proposal: https://github.com/thomvaill/log4brains/issues/77 I will try to work on this soon
