When I update express to version 5 it gives this error in all my projects and new ones too

Did you update your routes to use the new syntax? It looks like you have * or : without a parameter name.

See:

• path-to-regexp FAQ
• Express 5 migration guide
• [DEPLOY-ERROR] - TypeError: Missing parameter name at 1: https://git.new/pathToRegexpError - Firebase Functions Project - Updated to Version 5 - Firebase Deploy Failed #5936

[LUISDASARTIMANHAS]

yes all routes use * or :
/api/*
/api/uploads?data=:data

[krzysdz]

/api/* is an invalid path. The parameter must be named e.g. /api/*name.

[LUISDASARTIMANHAS]

but wouldn't he just get "name"?

[krzysdz]

Since path-to-regexp v8.0.0 and express v5.0.0 wildcards also need a name. /api/*name will work like before, so it should match /api/x, /api/a/b/c, etc., but the matched part will be available as a named "name" parameter.

Everything should be explained in the migration guide and FAQ that I've linked above.

[LUISDASARTIMANHAS]

ah ok then, I needed it to catch any routes, I was thinking that the "name" in front would make the * catch everything with name. and about the ":" and "?" are they still valid?

[LUISDASARTIMANHAS]

You can close the "bug report" sorry for the bug that wasn't a bug...

[krzysdz]

: works like it did in 4.x, but ? has been removed. Everything is explained in the migration guide and path-to-regexp readme.
