What version of this package are you using?

14.3.4

What operating system, Node.js, and npm version?

Node: 14.13.0
npm: 6.14.8
OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.5

What happened?

Given code:

import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'
import fs from 'fs'
const file = await fs.promise.readFile(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
console.log(file.toString())

Output is:

standard: Use JavaScript Standard Style (https://standardjs.com)
  example.mjs:3:14: Parsing error: Cannot use keyword 'await' outside an async function

What did you expect to happen?

Top-level await is a stage 3 proposal (see https://tc39.es/proposal-top-level-await/) but is enabled by default in from Node 14.8.0 (see https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V14.md#2020-08-11-version-1480-current-codebytere).

This is going to mean that linting with apps written for Node 14+ will be problematic, as top-level await is bound to be used.

Since Node 14 is becoming Active LTS in a few weeks I think TLA should pass linting

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?
