Sorry, something went wrong.
The import.meta example for new vm.SourceTextModule() in vm.md does not
run as written. It fails in two separate ways.
First, the constructor is missing the context: contextifiedObject
option, so the module evaluates in the top context where secret is not
defined, and the snippet throws ReferenceError: secret is not defined.
Second, the trailing note suggests replacing meta.prop = {} with
vm.runInContext('{}', contextifiedObject), but '{}' is parsed as an
empty block and evaluates to undefined. That makes the following
Object.getPrototypeOf(import.meta.prop) throw TypeError. Wrapping it as
'({})' returns an object, which is what the note intends.
This adds the context option and corrects the suggested replacement to
'({})' in both the mjs and cjs variants.

This adds the context option and corrects the suggested replacement to '({})' in both the mjs and cjs variants, so the example and its note both behave as documented.
