The latest node-sdk is not usable with @web3auth/ethereum-provider.
ethereum-provider is a CommonJS module, so cannot be used with import syntax in NodeJS. The @web3auth/node-sdk cannot be used as a commonJS module. The two are not compatible.
How is one supposed to use the node-sdk with the ethereum provider with NodeJS?

Hey @accounts,
Do you face any error by importing everything and destructuring and using as you may see fit? Example:
import * as Web3Auth from "@web3auth/ethereum-provider";
const { EthereumPrivateKeyProvider } = Web3Auth;
In the example you provided, Web3Auth is not exported by the ethereum-provider package. Either way, using:
import Web3Auth from "@web3auth/node-sdk";
import * as Provider from "@web3auth/ethereum-provider";
const { EthereumPrivateKeyProvider } = Provider;
import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";
import fs from "fs";
Causes the following error:
/Users/dev/web3auth-error/node_modules/@web3auth/node-sdk/dist/index.js:1
export * from "./interface";
^^^^^^

Using older versions of the packages, I’m able to at least run the script (thought I would like to solve the issue with the latest versions, mentioned above, but the error returned is:
