Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace') when using GO module

[JoakimMellonn]

When trying to use the Go module for having a backend in go, I'm getting the following error when running the app. This is a problem with a newly setup app.

$ npx -y primate@latest
primate 0.32.6
++ starting web build in development mode
file:///Users/**/sandbox/primate-test/node_modules/@primate/core/src/private/mark.js:4
  formatted.replace(`{${i}}`, bold(param)), format);
            ^

Node.js v20.18.0

Steps for reproduction

1. Setup a new primate app with minimum modules.
2. Install the go module.
3. Create a go simple route.
4. Run the app.

Hey, thank you for reporting the issue.

I've created a reproduction at https://github.com/primatejs/issues/tree/169 which includes a simple Go route that returns plaintext.

You can run it with

git clone -b 169 https://github.com/primatejs/issues && cd issues && npm install && npx primate

Browsing to http://localhost:6161 displays Hello, world!

The faulty route error (which fails to display here -- will investigate why) could indicate that primate cannot find Go in path, which it needs to compile routes. Does go version work for you?

If this is not a problem of Go itself missing, could you send a small PR against this branch with the reproducible error? You might be doing something different in your Go route.

[JoakimMellonn]

Thank you for the very quick reply @terrablue! I have just tried running the reproduction you've made. Unfortunately this results in the samme error as before for me.

To be absolutely sure, I have run this on both my private (MacBook) and my workstation (Both in Windows and WSL) - same error on all three.

Here's the output from running the command you gave:

$ git clone -b 169 https://github.com/primatejs/issues && cd issues && npm install && npx primate

@JoakimMellonn I just published @primate/go@0.1.5 which should solve the issue on Mac. The repro repo now executes there, could you please confirm?

On Windows, it might take a while since I don't know a standardised way to query an application's path (like which on Unix). I'd need to research that.

@JoakimMellonn I just published @primate/go@0.1.6 which should solve the issue on Windows, please confirm.

[terrablue]

@JoakimMellonn did this work for you?

@JoakimMellonn did this work for you?

Yes, sorry for not getting back to you! It works on Linux and MacOS, but I haven't gotten the chance, to test it on Windows as of now.
