In `new require("./server")`, the `new` applies to `require`, not to what it returns, so you don't get an instance of the exported class. To create one in a single expression, put the `require` call in parentheses, or use two statements.

ESLint has deprecated this rule. Use `n/no-new-require` instead.

## Examples

Not reported:
