"URL.parse()" works differently in diff versions of Nodejs

[SEWeiTung]

Version

18.17.0 or 18.16.X

Platform

N/A (including Windows, Mac and Linux)

Subsystem

N/A

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. Open any dev env.
2. Write a very simple code, something like this:

const URL = require('url');
const result = URL.parse('dubbo://300.149.250.173:20880/demo.DemoService?anyhost=true&application=demo-provider&dubbo=2.0.0&generic=false&interface=demo.DemoService&loadbalance=roundrobin&methods=sayHello&owner=william&pid=81281&side=provider&timestamp=1481613276143');

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

Always，without a required condition

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

Works properly as what we see in the previous version (Before Node 18.17.0、18.16.X, it works fine without any exceptions).

What do you see instead?

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL\n' +
' at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:405:5)\n' +
' at Url.parse (node:url:445:17)\n' +
' at new urlParse (node:url:167:13)\n'

Additional information

1. This ONLY happens in Nodejs since 18.17.0 or 18.16.X, I cannot reproduce it any more in the other versions of Nodejs (Even in the previous versions of Nodejs like "18.14.X", we cannot reproduce it.....

2. When I change "300.149.250.173" to "www.randomAddress.com", everything works fine, why (I mean it seems I cannot use numeric address but Latin-based address....)?

The ada library has no issue with this URL:

I think this issue is related to the missing backport in v18. Does this issue occur in latest node 20 or main branch?

Yes.

For Nodejs 20 or the other versions, They're all right with me.
What I found is between Nodejs 18.16.X and 18.17.0.

PS: Even in Nodejs 18.14.X, it works properly.

We are running into a similar or perhaps the same issue where v16, v18.16.0 and v20 all work whereas for v18.17.0 we have a failing test with the following result for the url difference:

Perhaps this helps.

Looks like a missing backport to 18?

Maybe #48873?

Backport has landed in the staging branch, and will be released in the next couple of days.
