Specifying dynamic import dependencies

[kitsonk]

To provide compatibility under Bun and Node.js for one of my projects, I need to dynamically import a polyfill in those environments and I can't seem to get the publish to identify that as a dependency.

I have tried adding it to the import map and even included a package.json as part of the project, and while the dependency is resolved locally with the Deno CLI, it is not detected on publish, and therefore on consumption the dependency is not there.

There should be a way to specify dependencies that does not get elided upon "incorrect" static analysis.

How are you including it?

await import("specifier") should be working

It is in a conditional block:

if (!("URLPattern" in globalThis)) {
  await import("urlpattern-polyfill");
}

I tried with npm:urlpattern-polyfill, adding to the import map in deno.json and adding to the package.json and in each case they either don't get detected or elided.

The version 0.5.1-alpha.4, 0.5.1-alpha.3 and 0.5.1-alpha.2 all contain the various forms that don't include the dependency when consumed via Node.js or Bun.

Gee, yeah that looks like a bug. Will fix tomorrow
