Not able to use this with Angular 13.

[jack-sparroow]

I had the working angular project. Then I have added replace_in_file using npm.

package.json

  "version": "0.0.0",
  "build_version": "1000",

  },

    "karma-jasmine": "~4.0.0",
    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "~1.7.0",
    "typescript": "~4.5.2"
  }
}

Implementation

updatepackagejson.service.ts

import packageInfo from './../../../package.json';

import { replaceInFile } from 'replace-in-file';

export async function replacing() {
  let pacakgeJson = packageInfo;

  let currentVersion = pacakgeJson['build_version'];

  const upgradeVersion = parseFloat(currentVersion) + 100;

  const options = {
    files: './../../../package.json',
    from: `"build_version": "${currentVersion}",`,
    to: `"build_version": "${upgradeVersion}",`,
  };

  try {
    const results = await replaceInFile(options);
    console.log('Replacement results:', results);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error occurred:', error);
  }
}

But, after doing ng serve I am getting

This looks to me like an environmental problem. Do you have a standalone example of this module failing to work? There haven't been any recent updates that would have cause any issues.

Moreover, this module is a Node module, and not intended to run in a browser with Angular.

[jack-sparroow]

In node.js it works fine. but, for my use case I have to use this package in angular project. But, as you mentioned it is not intended for browser use. So, I have to use a workaround.
