Deno compile ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND

[Stromberg]

Version: Deno 2.0.0

I created a script with

import pl from "npm:nodejs-polars@0.16.0";

and it runs with

deno run

(on Windows) but when I use

deno compile

and then try to run the compiled exe it complains

error: [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND] Cannot find module '/node_modules/localhost/nodejs-polars/0.16.0/index.js'

Can you provide a reproducible reproduction so we can reproduce this? On Windows I get:

...because Node API currently isn't supported in deno compile. The issue for that is here: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/24614

We had the same issue (#26155) , it's trying to verify if the import in commented Jsdocs exist or not, so I raised this bug (#26233), then I found that we may use the --no-check flag, which helps fix the issue in compile.

@dsherret there was a same issue from last week #26093 but it's closed somehow

tried with deno version 2.0.1:

import chalk from "npm:chalk@5.3.0";
console.log(chalk.blue("Hello, world!"));

the script is runnable, but running the compiled executable throws ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND error:

$ deno --version
deno 2.0.1 (stable, release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
v8 12.9.202.13-rusty
typescript 5.6.2

$ deno run -A main.ts
Hello, world!

$ deno compile -A main.ts 
Check file:///tmp/test/main.ts
Compile file:///tmp/test/main.ts to test

$ ./test
error: [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND] Cannot find module 'file:///tmp/deno-compile-test/node_modules/localhost/chalk/5.3.0/index.js' imported from 'file:///tmp/deno-compile-test/test/main.ts'
