Output of URL.toString doesn't match Node/Chromium

[Rexogamer]

Description

(apologies if this is the wrong repo - is this a Hermes issue?)

the output of new URL().to string() doesn't seem to match Node or Chromium, which leads me to believe the bug is with React Native or whoever is implementing URL.

this bug has caused issues for me, as (say) https://foo.net?bar=baz/ is different from https://foo.net/?bar=baz (the param is baz/, when it should be baz).

Node:

Welcome to Node.js v20.18.2.
Type ".help" for more information.
> const url = 'https://github.com'
undefined
> new URL(url).toString()
'https://github.com/'
> const url2 = 'https://github.com?foo=bar'
undefined
> new URL(url2).toString()
'https://github.com/?foo=bar'
> 

versus the same functions run with RN:

 (NOBRIDGE) LOG  https://github.com/
 (NOBRIDGE) LOG  https://github.com?foo=bar/

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the reproducer linked below
2. Look at the sections with URLs
3. Notice the misplaced slash at the end of the second example

Hi @Rexogamer, thanks for the issue.
Was this issue also happening with 0.78?

This commit 51ffc5c happened 8 month ago and it is the most recent change to the URLSearchParam implementation.
We might have a bug there.
