Proxy Error: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

[VivekChhatbarBacancy]

I am encountering a TypeError while Running sp-rest-proxy in my Angular project, which utilizes On-Demand Credentials as the authentication strategy. The error message reads: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

This issue arises and on-demand authentication doesn't show the browser window.

Version Information:

• Angular : ^17.3.0
• Nodejs: 22.0.0
• sp-rest-proxy -> ^3.3.6
• @pnp/sp -> ^4.3.0
• Electron

Hi @VivekChhatbarBacancy,

This is not connected with the library, but the external authentication module node-sp-auth.

Hello @koltyakov,

Correct the issue is from node-sp-auth, And as a work around I've downgraded the sp-rest-proxy version from 3.3.6 to 2.11.1
and everything works.
