Workaround is to downgrade to v20.5.1.

Dropping shelljs another error appears:

ERROR! ERROR! Cannot set property Argument of #<Object> which has only a getter

Lets set the required nodejs version to < 20.6 until we have a solution

I can confirm that the code can be generated with the bug fixed v20.6.1.
