npm compile does not work

[david-pfx]

Followed the instructions in the development guide.

d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+>node compile.js
d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+\compile.js:19
const gifsicle = require('gifsicle');
                 ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+\node_modules\gifsicle\index.js from d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+\compile.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+\compile.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (d:\MyDocs\dev\Polyomino\PSNext\PS+\compile.js:19:18) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

Is this a known problem?

When you mention "development guide" do you mean https://github.com/increpare/PuzzleScript/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md ?

• Do you have the correct version of GifSicle? More recent versions can give issues. (Though in my case by spamming errors in the console, not this specific error.) The PuzzleScript dev guide now list a specific version for GifSicle, 5.3.0.
• At some point I tested which versions of these packages are known to work, see #51
• I have adapted the compile script one time because I couldn't get one of the dependencies to work... but now I can't find where.

If this doesn't work, what happens if you replace require with import as the warning suggests?

Yes, that's the one. And I started with no npm installation, so whatever got installed is what I've got.

Right now I don't have the npm skills or bandwidth to tackle that one. I'll have to leave that to others for now.

Found it. Seems rimraf was updated and caused a breaking change. Lots of people affected.

Installing rimraf@3 fixes it. I've done a PR for PS. The one for PS+ has to be different.
