Buffer() deprecation check throws TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0') inside new Promise() #54296

Description

@hyrious

Version

First seen in v20.15; No issue in v20.14

Platform

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

Subsystem

No response

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Just create a file and run:

new Promise(() => {
  new Buffer(0)
})

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

It requires Node.js ≥ v20.15. Node.js v20.14 is working fine.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

It should not throw.

What do you see instead?

node:internal/util:508
        filename[0] !== '/' &&
                ^

Additional information

The error occurs only when inside the callback of new Promise(). I looked at devtools and it says one item inside the stack has getFileName() → null.

    Thanks for the report, this has been fixed on the v22.5 in this PR but has not been backported into v20.x release line, it possibly will be fixed in the next release in v20.x.

    I've added LTS watch labels to the PR for backporting, feel free to undone.
