What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. Follow the instructions listed here to build Node.js from source.

2. Change directory into the root of the node repo by running this command:

   cd <path-to-node-repo>
   

3. Try to run the SQLite extensions test by running this command:

   out/Release/node ./test/parallel/test-node-run.js
   

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

It always reproduces. I don’t know of any required conditions.

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

The test completes successfully and exits with status 0. This is expected because this is one of the tests that you’re supposed to run before submitting a Node.js pull request.

What do you see instead?

The test prints this…
