Bug: Cannot find module '@fortawesome-internal-tools/fontawesome-icons/canonical'

[dg-robinson]

Bug description

I've just updated from 6.5.2 to 6.6.0 and I've started getting this error in every file where I import icons, which I'm doing like this:

import { light } from "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/import.macro";
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from "@fortawesome/react-fontawesome";

I can update all of the style packages to 6.6.0, but if I update @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core then I start getting this issue. The stack trace is pointing to the imports in node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/import.macro.js.

This is happening in a React app with Craco and Babel, and I'm importing the packages via npm.

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community and thanks for reporting this.

Looks like a legit issue, let's assign @robmadole

Ref: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/37eff7fa00de26db41183a3ad8ed0e9119fbc44b/js-packages/%40fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/import.macro.js#L3-L4

Yep, sure enough that's an internal tool that leaked into this module. We'll get this looked at and fixed as soon as we can.

Is this resolved? How do fix it? I'm seeing the same issue.

[tagliala]

Not fixed yet, sorry. Please keep an eye on this issue and wait for it to be closed

Is there a list of @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core versions impacted by the current error?

[tagliala]

99% confident that it's just 6.6.0

[dg-robinson]

Is there a list of @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core versions impacted by the current error?

Yep, only 6.6.0. It worked fine in 6.5.2 and below. You can still upgrade the individual icon libraries to 6.6.0 though.

Hey guys, is there an update on this or a workaround? We have 6.5.2 installed and are having this issue.

Hey guys, is there an update on this or a workaround? We have 6.5.2 installed and are having this issue.

We resolved the issue by removing the ^ symbol before the version number in the package.json, and then reinstalling the node_modules. Hope it helps.

@CarrieWDing is correct, the version needs to be locked to 6.5.2 for @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core only, so remove the ^. Here's a full example of the workaround:

   "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "6.5.2",
    "@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",
    "@fortawesome/pro-duotone-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",
    "@fortawesome/pro-light-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",
    "@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",
    "@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",
    "@fortawesome/react-fontawesome": "^0.2.2",
    "@fortawesome/sharp-light-svg-icons": "^6.6.0",

Reiterating a need for this fix, as it prevents standard updates.

Also interested in a fix for this -- @CarrieWDing's solution worked for updating the package and the app compiles/runs fine, but we're having Cypress tests fail due to the unresolved internal dependency. I can't share the exact error message (I'm on my personal GH but the issue is happening in a project for work), but it's more or less as follows:

[webpack-dev-server] ERROR in ./x/x/x/
...
Error: /path/to/my/file.tsx: Cannot find module '@fortawesome-internal-tools/fontawesome-icons/canonical'
.... more of the stacktrace ....

Sounds like the issue is known so hopefully a fix will be in place soon :)

alternatively, if anyone can suggest a workaround for this in the meantime, I'm all ears!
