[Bug] Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM] since last update

[Pere Orga]

🐞 Bug report

Description

I'm getting this error since updating to 7.1.9. Tried with both latest node v18.16.0 and v20.3.0 on Mac.

Details

The error is:

$ npx hint https://example.com
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/pere/dev/pccd/node_modules/@hint/utils-network/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from /Users/pere/dev/pccd/node_modules/@hint/utils-network/dist/src/request-async.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/pere/dev/pccd/node_modules/@hint/utils-network/dist/src/request-async.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Same here, it seems that the @hint/utils-network dependency version at 1.0.25 introduced this problem, however its been hard to override the nested dependencies that are using utils-version because many many dependencies are pointing to it.

Reproduced on Ubuntu 22.04 (node v20.2.0)

[Duncan]

Same, in GH Actions run. Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. (ubuntu-latest image)

[Jonathan Martz]

Same Issue here. Any solutions ?

[Alan Fregtman]

Same here. webhint is broken on both Windows and Linux for me.

[Bernd Konnerth]

It doesn't look like the new version 7.1.9 itself is the problem. It seems that the issue comes from the new version 1.0.25 of @hint/utils-network which was released together with 7.1.9. There the dependency for node-fetch has been increased from 2.6.7 to the new major version 3.3.1.

Going back to 7.1.8 does not help, because it also uses the latest version of @hint/utils-network and thus shows the issue as well!

This is really a big issue for us because it breaks the npm install process. Currently its only possible to use npm ci to get our builds running.

[Nicholas Causey]

A temporary workaround is to override the node-fetch dependency of @hint/utils-network by adding this to your package.json

"overrides": {
  "@hint/utils-network": {
    "node-fetch": "^2"
  }
}

Thanks @ncausey, That's a very good hint. I'll try it.

[Patrick Brosset]

Sorry about the lack of updates here, I'll mention this to the Edge DevTools team and see whether this can be investigated sooner rather than later.

[Vidal Ortega]

thank you everyone for the report, looking into it :-). Please use @ncausey suggestion as a workaround for now.

[Vidal Ortega]

I just pushed a fix for this and released new version of the packages. Thanks everyone for their patience.

[Bernd Konnerth]

For all who need the workaround quickly. For me ncausey's suggestions did not work exactly as proposed. For me it only worked when installing node-fetch in version 2 for the whole project like this:

"overrides": {
    "node-fetch": "2.6.11"
},
