The Heft package's full name is @rushstack/heft.

If you already have Heft installed locally (i.e. - this is actually running our Heft), can you provide a stacktrace?

[Niek]

Yes, this is when heft is installed locally. The error was introduced in heft v0.60.0, v0.59.0 is working fine. To reproduce:

$ mkdir -p test/config && cd test
$ echo '{ "name": "test", "version": "0.0.0" }' > package.json
$ echo '{"$schema":"https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/heft/v0/heft.schema.json","phasesByName":{"build":{"cleanFiles":[{"sourcePath":"dist"},{"sourcePath":"lib"}]}}}' > config/heft.json
$ npx -y @rushstack/[email protected] clean
TypeError [ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR]: Illegal constructor

This has been fixed in @rushstack/heft v0.61.3.
