bytenode: Dependency resolving problem with compiled byte code

Hi, I tried the library with an app developed using the Nest.JS framework. Library converted the bundle.js into bytecode and code ran without any errors. NOTE: bundle.js was built following the bellow step 2.

However, I wanted to try with more advanced cases such as connecting to a database.

I did setup the application to use sqlite3 along with TypeORM.
Compiled the application into a single bundle using ncc library, NTOE: ncc library also copied the sqlite3 related node native module to the build folder successfully.

Now the library can run as a standalone file and tested and confirmed that I can do CURD operations with the database.

After the successful test confirm I compiled the bundle.js with the bytenode and it could generate a compiled bytecode file.

When I run the code using bytenode ./build/bundle.jsc it throws the error of not resolving the ORM Repository.

I could not find any resources/ configurations to solve this issue. Please help.

Resources: @nestjs/core: ^8.0.0 sqlite3: ^5.0.2 typeorm: ^0.2.37 @vercel/ncc: ^0.31.1 bytenode: ^1.3.3 typescript: ^4.3.5

Thank you very much

I can reproduce your error now. However, I don’t even know how to approach the problem! There are many parts, each could potentially be the cause, and I have almost no experience with them.

I tried to google the error message. There are many people who had the same error but without bytenode. It was all related to nest configurations.

I believe that the way bytenode is wrapping your code inside this function (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { YOUR_CODE \n}); plays a role. Maybe it causes some implicit globals to be lost. Maybe you should explicitly export what the error message is complaining about.

I’m sorry I could not help.

@AwesomeSam9523 Hi, No worries, I will try what you are suggesting here, But it was good to know this as well. Thank you very much for the info anyway. I am trying to run the code in NWJS 😃 Thank you very much once again

@ishanuda

require('bytenode');
module.exports = require('./filename.jsc');

Hi, Sorry for my bad, There should be an env file that I ignored in the commit. I have updated the env file so that the validation will pass while running.

NOTE: The .env file is mounted in app.module.ts with the following code.

envFilePath: path.resolve(__dirname, '../env', '.env'),

Thank you

Thank you for creating the minimal example. I apologize for the late response, and I will look into it in the weekend.

Hi @OsamaAbbas, Thank you for the reply. I ran the suggested command and it still fails the operation. However, I created a minimal repo in the following:

https://github.com/ishanuda/nestjs-ncc-bytenode

NOTE: I have update the README for your reference.

Thank you very much.

Could you please provide a complete minimal example that shows the problem with a simple npm install && npm run?

Also, try running the project like this: node -r bytenode ./build/bundle.jsc.
