Problems with build setup / MacOS?

[akiessling]

Hi,

i had trouble to get the build setup running on MacOS

First problem:

import fs from 'fs';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I tried multiple multipe node versions, but in the end it was solvable by adjusting the build/entries.js and the build/site.js, see pull request

Second problem:
rspack and husky complained about missing bindings, so i had to add them for building / running the tests

    "@rspack/binding-darwin-arm64": "^0.6.5",
    "@swc/core-darwin-arm64": "^1.7.23",

I am not that deep into NodeJS and this is my first go with rspack. Maybe there is an automatic way to solve this?

Hello,

About the first problem, this sounds like a common error with esm modules.
Could you try the following things instead of the commonjs rewrite ?

• rename build/*.js to build/*.mjs
• add "type": "module" to the package.json

I'm sorry I don't have a mac available right now to try it…

About the second problem, I don't know about a better way to solve it.
But I wonder if this would be a good thing to commit those bindings, or if this should be left to install by the users on their specific platform 🤔

Hi,

unfortunately, that did not work right away.

It then complained about the rspack config and jest, see akiessling@f1e419e#diff-053150b640a7ce75eff69d1a22cae7f0f94ad64ce9a855db544dda0929316519

As for the bindings: i removed the package-lock.json and ran npm install --> now some optional dependencies show up in the lockfile and i can run the build step.

I tested the install on a windows machine with the binding dependency, but that fails

npm error code EBADPLATFORM
npm error notsup Unsupported platform for @rspack/binding-darwin-arm64@0.6.5: wanted {"os":"darwin","cpu":"arm64"} (current: {"os":"win32","cpu":"x64"})
