Ran brew install bash today, didn’t seem to fix the issue. asdf was installed via brew install asdf. M1 apple silicon mac on 12.0.1

Did you update your asdf-nodejs plugin? Running asdf update nodejs should be enough.

I can’t reproduce this error using bash 3, so I don’t think it’s related to just the bash version

Thanks @adamfeldman. I had this issue on a brand new M1 MacBook and chalked it up at first to some of the ARM compatibility issues I expect to run into. Installing a newer version of Bash like you state worked for me as well.

I’m using Fish shell but probably wouldn’t normally think to update Bash even if I used it as my primary shell.

If possible we should stick with what is POSIX complaint. It’s not always possible but in this case I think it might be.
