sea: allow requiring core modules with the "node:" prefix #47779

RaisinTen · 2023-04-29T06:43:24Z

Previously, the require() function exposed to the embedded SEA code was calling the internal require() function if the module name belonged to the list of public core modules but the internal require() function does not support loading modules with the "node:" prefix, so this change forwards the calls to another require() function that supports this.

Fixes: nodejs/single-executable#69

bootstrap: fix bug in the snapshot require function and share the code with the SEA require

Previously, requiring node:test while building a snapshot
was failing with a Error: Cannot find module 'node:test'. error, so
this change fixes that and uses the same code path for normalizing ids
for both the snapshot require function as well as the SEA require
function.

Previously:

$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('node:test')")
node:internal/main/mksnapshot:105
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'node:test'.
    at requireForUserSnapshot (node:internal/main/mksnapshot:101:17)
    at /dev/fd/13:1:1
    at main (node:internal/main/mksnapshot:168:5)
    at node:internal/main/mksnapshot:185:1

$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('test')")
(node:5389) Warning: built-in module test is not yet supported in user snapshots
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
Unknown external reference 0x102d226e0.
<unresolved>
[1]    5389 trace trap  node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('test')")

Now:

$ ./node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('node:test')")
(node:5394) Warning: built-in module node:test is not yet supported in user snapshots
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
Unknown external reference 0x105cb25e0.
<unresolved>
[1]    5394 trace trap  ./node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot

$ ./node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('test')")
node:internal/main/mksnapshot:106
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'test'.
    at requireForUserSnapshot (node:internal/main/mksnapshot:102:17)
    at /dev/fd/13:1:1
    at main (node:internal/main/mksnapshot:169:5)
    at node:internal/main/mksnapshot:186:1

Since the Unknown external reference error, which happens now for
the node:test module, was already present for the test module,
it should be okay to fix in a separate PR.

More info about the crash in #47832.

I think we should update the documentation to remove the suggestion of Module.createRequire() now that we create one for them?

LGTM

I think we should update the documentation to remove the suggestion of Module.createRequire() now that we create one for them?

@joyeecheung with this change, the require() function that's exposed to the embedded SEA code is still not fs-based because of the Module.isBuiltin check, so if users need access to the file system, they would still need to use Module.createRequire() to build another require() function.

lib/internal/util/embedding.js

…e with the SEA require Previously, this code: ```sh node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('node:test')")` ``` was failing with a "Error: Cannot find module 'node:test'." error, so this change fixes that and uses the same code path for normalizing ids for both the snapshot require function as well as the SEA require function. However, building a snapshot when `node:test` is required now fails with: ```sh ./node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot <(echo "require('node:test')") (node:5362) Warning: built-in module node:test is not yet supported in user snapshots (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created) Unknown external reference 0x10201dd70. <unresolved> [1] 5362 trace trap ./node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot ``` which could be solved in a separate PR.

`BuiltinModule.normalizeRequirableId()` was introduced in nodejs#47779 to fix a bug in the require function of SEAs and Snapshots, so that built-in modules with the `node:` scheme could be required correctly. This change makes more use of this API instead of `BuiltinModule.canBeRequiredByUsers()` and `BuiltinModule.canBeRequiredWithoutScheme()` to reduce chances of such bugs.

@RaisinTen any chance you would have time to backport this to v18.x?
