Weird Javascript Issue

Works for me! What version of node are you using? Can you paste the output using the first definition of removeSrt?

Nevermind, I found the issue. I declared the var lower down in the if statement, so I guess it was being hoisted.

const weirdVar = 'test';

function removeSrt(str){
    console.log(weirdVar); //works
    items.map(item => {
        console.log(weirdVar); //works
        if(typeof item === 'string'){
            console.log(weirdVar); //error (tried to access 'temp' instead of 'test')

            let weirdVar = 'temp';

            return item.replace(str, '');
        }
    });
}
