@frama21 this looks more like an issue with the bundler or agent-base rather than this library (looking at the first line of the error).

I cannot seem to reproduce this issue - let me know if there's a specific line or class in the auth library I can assist in debugging.

I'm having the same error with my Angular 17 project.

Step to reproduce:

1. Install the Angular 17 version
2. Install google-auth-library (latest version is 9.6.3)
3. import {JWT} from "google-auth-library";

const serviceAccountAuth = new JWT({});

Is it the issue caused by the (google-auth-library) library still uses the require while others (e.g., @googleapis/sheets v4 or a vuejs component) depend on it have been changed to use the import for modules loading?

in this case the events_1 is null due to the events module has not been imported/loaded

const events_1 = require("events");
...
class AuthClient extends events_1.EventEmitter {
constructor(opts = {}) {
...

There is no reference to "events" package in https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs/blob/main/package.json. Where I can get the "events" module/package @danielbankhead?
