7.x-alpha.0 ESM import issue - JSON - ERR_IMPORT_ASSERTION_TYPE_MISSING

[jeffwilcox]

We tried pulling in the alpha package today and at startup our ESM app is not working. Is it possible that the library may need to shift away from JSON-based imports and to use fs+path to read the JSON file at runtime given that JSON imports are a little funky on Node.js right now?

TypeError [ERR_IMPORT_ASSERTION_TYPE_MISSING]: Module "file:///_path to web app dist folder_/node_modules/azure-kusto-data/dist-esm/src/wellKnownKustoEndpoints.json" needs an import attribute of type "json"

}

Node.js v20.15.0

We don't see it in our tests, can you give us more info?

• What kind of app is it?
• How is it set up?
• How does it consume the SDK? How is it defined in the package.json level etc
• Do you use a bundler or another tool?
• What are your tsconfig settings if relevant?

Unfortunately this looks to be more systemic with Windows + Azure SDK's core-rest-pipeline stuff... going to keep digging in, but it does not impact our prod Linux things or Mac development.

Sorry for the maybe-false-alarm for now...
