Silence potentially upcoming circular dependency warning #973

Node.js is currently considering printing a warning when a non-existent
property of module.exports is accessed while in a circular require()
dependency, in order to make it easier to catch issues with circular
dependencies.

In order to avoid printing these warnings for shelljs, checking for the
property’s existence rather than its truthiness suffices.

Also: I’d understand if you don’t like this PR, because the previous code was perfectly fine.

I’m trying to implement this warning in Node.js because I believe that, in the big picture, it helps debug hard problems more than it annoy people – I’d guess that circular dependencies might have tripped you up in the past, too. If you have any feedback about the Node.js PR in general, please feel free to voice it there.

This change seems fine, I don't think we need to be worried about inheritance.

shelljs/shelljs#973 updated shelljs to prevent
Node 14 from emitting circular dependency warnings.
nfischer added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 26, 2020
This adds testing for node v14. This removes testing for node v6 and v7
because codecov breaks on these versions. This omits node v15 because
appveyor doesn't seem to support this version. The nodejs org currently
supports [10, 12, 14, 15].

This makes a couple minor edits to the check-node-support script for
consistency with shelljs/shx#186.

This bumps the shx dependency because it seems we're hitting issue #973
on node v14.

Test: npm run check-node-support
