TypeError: Class constructor EventEmitter cannot be invoked without 'new'

Question

I'm developing a small twitch connector, and I'm facing a major error: This is the following error:

BasicPubSubClient.js:25
        var _this = _super.call(this) || this;
                           ^

TypeError: Class constructor EventEmitter cannot be invoked without 'new'

I'm doing the imports as follows:

import {PubSubClient} from 'twitch-pubsub-client';
import {ApiClient} from 'twitch';
import {StaticAuthProvider} from 'twitch-auth';

And calling the method:

class pubSubClientHandler {
    constructor() {
    --> this.pubSubClient = new PubSubClient(); <---
        this.authProvider = new StaticAuthProvider(process.env.TWITCH_CLIENT_ID, process.env.TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN);
        this.apiClient = new ApiClient({ authProvider: this.authProvider });
    }

This is my package.json.

    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.23.8",
    "babel-loader": "^9.1.3",
    "rimraf": "^5.0.5"
  }
}

And my .babelrc

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "@babel/preset-env",
      {"targets": {"esmodules": true}}
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"
  ]
}

How can I fix this error?

Thank you.
