__dirname is not defined

[tinytini12]

Hi! With last release and using as ESM, it's showing this error:

How to fix: https://flaviocopes.com/fix-dirname-not-defined-es-module-scope/

[protibimbok]

Can you please give me a way to reproduce this? I know it should have happened but can't seem to encounter it.

[tinytini12]

You can use this repo: Repo updating django-vite-plugin package to its latest version, running npm run dev and opening http://localhost:5173/

[protibimbok]

I don't know why but I can not re create this. Please check the examples of this repo & create a pr with your problem.

[protibimbok]

You may check #69 and see if it fixes your problem.

I'm also having this problem; how can I install this branch in order to test?

[protibimbok]

Using pnpm
First clone this repo and cd into vite directory. Then run:

pnpm run build

You can then install it in two ways:

1. Export a tarball and install from there

pnpm pack

And then cd into your project and install it:

pnpm install ../path/to/tarball

2. Install from directory:
   cd into your project and run

pnpm install ../path/to/cloned_repo/vite

Thanks! I was able to get the PR branch installed and it did seem to fix the problem!

Couldn't try this solution. This command throws and error in my computer pnpm run build

[protibimbok]

I have published the changes. Please check.

[tinytini12]

Fails for me:
[vite] Internal server error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\C:\Users\my-user\my-folder\projects\my-project\node_modules\django-vite-plugin\dist\esm\info.html'

Please try the same branch again. And let me know the error you are facing (if any)

Its giving me two errors, the first one is Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'glob' and once I install that, the second is the one above.

First pull #69 again
And then:

2. Install from directory:
   cd into your project and run

pnpm install ../path/to/cloned_repo/vite

Did you follow these steps and still got no file error?

Yes, that's what I did

With type = module set in the package.json file please run the following code in terminal and send me the result.

function getAbsolutePathFromMetaUrl(path: string): string {
    if (process.platform === 'win32' && path.startsWith('/')) {
        return path.substring(1)
    }
    return path
}
console.log(getAbsolutePathFromMetaUrl(
        typeof __dirname === 'undefined'
            ? // @ts-ignore
              path.dirname(new URL(import.meta.url).pathname)
            : __dirname,
))

Result

With type = module set in the package.json file please run the following code in terminal and send me the result.

function getAbsolutePathFromMetaUrl(path: string): string {
    if (process.platform === 'win32' && path.startsWith('/')) {
        return path.substring(1)
    }
    return path
}
console.log(getAbsolutePathFromMetaUrl(
        typeof __dirname === 'undefined'
            ? // @ts-ignore
              path.dirname(new URL(import.meta.url).pathname)
            : __dirname,
))

Result: C:\Users\my-user\my-folder\projects\my-project

[protibimbok]

Result: C:\Users\my-user\my-folder\projects\my-project

In that case, you are not supposed to get the error:

Fails for me: [vite] Internal server error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\C:\Users\my-user\my-folder\projects\my-project\node_modules\django-vite-plugin\dist\esm\info.html'

Check: a98c5c7

It uses the exact same code to resolve the path.

Please make sure you are in the correct branch. Reference: #70

You're right! in branch __dirname_fix it works
