v3.3.0 Error in the browser: `Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined`

[shashank1010]

What is the current behavior?

Installing v3.3.0 results in the error Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined

What's happening that seems wrong?

It seems that the dist bundle is not correct. dist bundles should have references to process object

Steps to reproduce

1. Install deepgram-sdk and use it in a browser application
2. Run the application
3. Visit the webpage

Expected behavior

1. The application should simply run
2. And you can use the deepgram client.

Please tell us about your environment

• Operating System/Version: MacOS
• Language: TypeScript
• Browser: Chrome

Other information

Reverting to v3.2.0 resolves the issue.

Anything else we should know? (e.g. detailed explanation, stack-traces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stack overflow, codepen, etc)

1. deepgram v3.2 Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-fhctlf?file=package.json (This works fine)
2. deepgram v3.3 Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-zg6vpu?file=package.json (This fails)

doesn't seem to be fixed?

Your IDE is configured for browser environment, and not Node. A Webpack plugin will provide a static value to the property notation process.node.version in the browser.

IDE squiggles are not bugs

Oh you're welcome! Just had a free moment and that error is a familiar problem hehe

This is not an IDE, this is chrome dev tools, it's a browser. I'll investigate more, might be a bun bug

edit: not a bun bug, same problem with yarn

could it be a cache issue? something else?

Hi! I'm facing the same issue right now. I have a SvelteKit app. When I import the SDK:

<script lang="ts">
    import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
</script>

I get the following error:

@lukeocodes the problem persists in version 3.3.1 with vite and other environments. it did not exist in 3.2.0 yet... could we please reopen this issue?

Hi, I'm also getting this same issue, also with vite & sveltekit.

[lukeocodes]

There is a PR up by a community member to resolve this, it has comments that need addressing

[noxan]

@lukeocodes Yes, thanks for pointing this out I commented there. To me the problem lies deeper honestly, first you introduced the new requirement to have a process.env variable during build with a patch version release (yes, that broke our product). Secondly, it is not documented anywhere, that this is even necessary, so everyone using your sdk for the first time (unless they happen to use webpack and copy your example) will end up with this issue. Lastly, as written in the other comment, I do not understand your motivation in the first place, what's the benefit of tracing a build time nodejs version which does not have any meaning for the actual runtime of your sdk? Please make the requirement on the process.env optional again or at least document it properly and release a new version reflecting this breaking change, thanks!
