Class private methods are not enabled.

[NullVoxPopuli]

I just upgraded tracked-built-ins in an addon and am getting this error:

Build Error (broccoli-persistent-filter:Babel > [Babel: tracked-built-ins]) in tracked-built-ins/-private/object.js

ember-statechart-component/tracked-built-ins/-private/object.js: Class private methods are not enabled.
  65 |
  66 |   // @private
> 67 |   #readStorageFor(key) {
     |   ^
  68 |     let storage = this.#storages.get(key);
  69 |
  70 |     if (storage === undefined) {

but, what's weird, is that I've worked on tracked-built-ins with private methods... and this wasn't an issue at all.

My ember-cli-babel appears up to date:

I've seen it recently after I upgraded tracked-built-ins to v2. I have no idea what causes this error, so I raised an issue here: https://github.com/tracked-tools/tracked-built-ins/issues/204

[NullVoxPopuli]

that's the library where am seeing this, too.

It's not tracked-built-ins' fault tho. We should be able to use private properties and methods in our apps -- if we do, we get the same error.

[NullVoxPopuli]

oh! I just tested this, that's not true!!! private methods work just fine in the host app.

ok, so this bug with ember-cli-babel is that addons are not appropriately inheriting the browserlist or targets? 🤔 maybe?

[SergeAstapov]

Another option, smith with TS compilation as add-on source is .ts

EDIT: I may be wrong as there are .js files

[NullVoxPopuli]

tracked-built-ins is a V1 addon, so TS compilation happens as a result of the app telling the addon to compile... which.. is handled by the host's ember-cli-babel 🤔 I think ember-cli-babel has a misconfiguration for addons 🤔

[rwjblue]

Is there a minimal reproduction for this? Can someone give me a repo to clone (with either a lockfile that demonstrates the issue, or checked in node_modules)?

[NullVoxPopuli]

on it

[chriskrycho]

@NullVoxPopuli I'm already pushing a repro repo.

[NullVoxPopuli]

Here is my repro: https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/repro-for-emberjs-19790/pull/2 (branch: ember-cli-babel-issues-419) all you need to do is yarn && yarn build

[chriskrycho]

Lulz. Here's mine. Same.

[NullVoxPopuli]

Lulz. Here's mine. Same.

:raised_hands:

[chriskrycho]

Additional info to make things extra complicated: we’re now consuming latest v. of tracked-built-ins in the big app at LinkedIn, with no issues. And our build is not doing anything to configure private class fields (as you would expect given the status of that proposal!). Notably, both our app and the repro apps are all resolving ember-cli-babel 7.26.6, so it's unlikely it's ember-cli-babel itself. I will continue reporting as I have time.

[rwjblue]

Debugged this with @chriskrycho a bit. The main issue (we believe) is that ember-cli-babel is always adding @babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties (which we added originally for decorators support):

https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/blob/4c3b9091d7c711ecb804a52226409b409a702d82/lib/babel-options-util.js#L345-L359

Path forward in this repo is to change that guard above to only add the class-properties plugin when it is needed (possibly by using isPluginRequired).

Unfortunately, we also need to land some fixes to ember-data LTS versions. Specifically, the version of rollup they use in their internal build infrastructure does not support class fields, so when ember-cli-babel stops automatically adding that plugin ember-data's build fails like:

- broccoliBuilderErrorStack: Error: Unexpected token
    at error (/Users/chris/dev/test/yoooooo/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/node-entry.js:5400:30)
    at Module.error (/Users/chris/dev/test/yoooooo/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/node-entry.js:9824:16)
    at tryParse (/Users/chris/dev/test/yoooooo/node_modules/rollup/dist/shared/node-entry.js:9717:23)

At the moment that is using rollup@^1.12.0, via these packages:

https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/362ae1af977b9a4ca328cc0aafc45b87e6041b91/packages/private-build-infra/package.json#L27

https://github.com/chadhietala/broccoli-rollup/blob/c45027c53e0b72c5f06158e3efed67cc63f4ef8f/package.json#L53

tldr; we need to bump @ember-data/-private-build-infra to use broccoli-rollup@5 (which allows us to upgrade to latest rollup, which should support the syntax we need).

[rwjblue]

Looks like ember-data@4.0.0-beta.1+ will have the newer version (landed in https://github.com/emberjs/data/commit/325ce04ea5f14b72bac270711ab600dfe085ac46), but not in 3.24/3.28 just yet.

[NullVoxPopuli]

looks like this happens with optional chaining as well (from v2 addons)

[vmurillo]

hello, is there any workaround for this problem?

[NullVoxPopuli]

not that I know of -- we have to fix ember-cli-babel

[NullVoxPopuli]

I attempted this: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/compare/master...NullVoxPopuli:idk?expand=1

but I get errors from within babel with the isPluginRequired method:

Cannot read property 'firefox' of undefined

[nickschot]

I've also run into issues with this. Forcefully including the plugin in ember-cli-build then results in an issue caused by an outdated pinned version of @babel/runtime(7.12) which is missing @babel/runtime/helpers/esm/classPrivateMethodInitSpec. See: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/pull/385

Forcing a resolution allowing newer runtimes solves this issue but triggers another issue Could not find module "@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/checkPrivateRedeclaration.js" imported from "@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/classPrivateMethodInitSpec". Turning off externalized helpers "fixes" that one too.... but that's of course not great. This is probably caused by: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/issues/384 ?

Not sure what the way forward is, but I assume having a pinned version @babel/runtime doesn't help things either?

edit: fyi, pinning "@babel/helper-create-class-features-plugin": "7.14.8" also "fixes" the automatic include of class private methods. So something in the newer versions of that plugin must have influenced things.

[chriskrycho]

If you read @rwjblue's explanation above, the things you're seeing will make sense: it's basically because the transitives of those earlier values end up including earlier versions of the database which preset-env uses to determine which plugins are required. The problem, most briefly, is that for it to work correctly, all of the class fields plugins are required together if any of them are required, and ember-cli-babel was only adding one of them—we really just want to not add any of them automatically (the reasons we were doing that historically are no longer relevant), but dropping them broke Ember Data which was accidentally implicitly relying on what ember-cli-babel was doing.

The “fix” here is: don't update dependencies which are causing this breakage until we get out releases of ember-cli-babel and Ember Data which resolve the issue. Which is a bit slowed because of (a) the Ember 4 releases and (b) this week being American Thanksgiving! 🦃 🥧 🇺🇸 (Given which I'm going to vanish back into non-OSS land now. 😉)

[NullVoxPopuli]

What should those of us who don't use ember-data do? Is there PR we can point at, etc?

Kind of a shame for ember data to be such a blocker. 🤔 (At least for all the non-ember-data folks)

[NullVoxPopuli]

It's just this babel issue is holding up a lot of work for me, and I don't like that something I don't use is blocking :(

oh, I just saw @nickschot's comment -- gonna try some pinning so I can at least do something. :D

---

Update: no pinning works. I guess my only option now is to ditch the addon@v1 format entirely and pre-compile my stuff via addon@v2, and add tracked-built-ins to my test app 🤔

[NullVoxPopuli]

This is immensely frustrating -- pretty much can't work atm. :(

Here is my last attempt, where I just started deleting a bunch of the legacy crap: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/commit/0f1b9954802278f637e98daf4f74677d3892b4d0

but, the overall problem remains where the host app's targets aren't considered when running babel:

Build Error (broccoli-persistent-filter:Babel > [Babel: @ember/test-helpers]) in @ember/test-helpers/-internal/debug-info.js

/NullVoxPopuli/ember-statechart-component/@ember/test-helpers/-internal/debug-info.js: Missing class properties transform.
  40 |
  41 | export class TestDebugInfo {
> 42 |   _summaryInfo = undefined;
     |   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  43 |
  44 |   constructor(settledState, debugInfo = getDebugInfo()) {
  45 |     this._settledState = settledState;

I know it's more efficient to only have each addon's needs use specific plugins, as each additional plugin can add compile time, but this has fealt very brittle, and I feel lost / frustrated / upset. 😢

[chriskrycho]

This is indeed why v2 addons will be better, and I sympathize with the frustrations.

A friendly reminder, though: a bunch of maintainers are on vacation this week, and time off is good and important for everyone! We'll get back to this next week. 😄

[snewcomer]

Looks like ember-data@4.0.0-beta.1+ will have the newer version (landed in emberjs/data@325ce04), but not in 3.24/3.28 just yet.

In 3.28.5!

[chriskrycho]

All right, cool. I'll chat with @rwjblue and see if we can land the fix in ember-cli-babel now that Data is unblocked, and that should then cascade out to the rest of the ecosystem "automagically" by way of Renovate/Dependabot/etc.

[NullVoxPopuli]

Was the fix already figured out, but kept secret?

[chriskrycho]

It's what we already said upthread!

[NullVoxPopuli]

where?

[kategengler]

@NullVoxPopuli The fix was described https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/issues/419#issuecomment-979372114 and https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/issues/419#issuecomment-971787156

[NullVoxPopuli]

it seems ember-data focused (which I'm not using, and my work isn't using either), and nothing I tried following that guidance got me success :shrug:

It's just a bit too high level for someone unfamiliar with ember-cli-babel :upside_down_face:

[kategengler]

@NullVoxPopuli I promise I have no subject-matter expertise here. Reading above:

The problem, most briefly, is that for it to work correctly, all of the class fields plugins are required together if any of them are required, and ember-cli-babel was only adding one of them—we really just want to not add any of them automatically (the reasons we were doing that historically are no longer relevant), but dropping them broke Ember Data which was accidentally implicitly relying on what ember-cli-babel was doing.

My reading here is that the fix is to not add any of the class field plugins in e-c-babel, but that fix was blocked by a fix to Ember Data because the e-c-babel fix broke Ember Data.

[vjonesmuth]

I am writing a generic typescript package using rollup@2.60.0 that is being consumed by an ember app using ember-cli-babel@7.26.6. When I run ember s I see the error described Class private methods are not enabled. Do we just need to wait for ember-cli-babel to push out the fix or is there a work around that I can implement? I tried pinning broccoli-rollup to 5.0.0 but that didn't seem to help.

[NullVoxPopuli]

My reading here is that the fix is to not add any of the class field plugins in e-c-babel

I tried that here, with excludes and no success: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/commit/0f1b9954802278f637e98daf4f74677d3892b4d0#diff-4d3a8edb07aff5a7c43d8692de88a4eb83b327e2a352633699ba4afb9b753b6aR21

:shrug:

[NullVoxPopuli]

@rwjblue or @chriskrycho are you able to put up a PR with the fix?

[vjonesmuth]

Pinning @babel/helper-create-class-features-plugin to 7.14.6 seems to have fixed this for me

[NullVoxPopuli]

Thanks, @VinceJones !!

I confirm that in https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/ember-statechart-component/pull/149 pinning @babel/helper-create-class-features-plugin to 7.14.6 via https://www.npmjs.com/package/force-resolutions (with npm) allows me to run tests, and unblock a month's worth of C.I. :tada:

[NullVoxPopuli]

but it doesn't help with embroider :thinking: https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/ember-statechart-component/runs/4412492851?check_suite_focus=true

[NullVoxPopuli]

it seems there is no way to make resolutions work with ember-try + npm -- gonna try switching to yarn

[NullVoxPopuli]

It's no wonder I'm having so many issues, these issue numbers are anagrams of each other!

in ember-statechart-component, I was able to get passed this issue by... not using tracked-built-ins. (I instead went for the tracked-storage-primitives-polyfill, which is probably the better thing to do for this addon anyway). So, that at least unblocks some of my open source stuff.

I still consider this issue to be an ecosystem-wide outage tho

[chriskrycho]

rwjblue and I are going to try to get this knocked out tomorrow; in the meantime, folks may be able to work around it by pinning caniuse-lite to 1.0.30001280. (We did that for an internal addon and it did the trick.)

[BryanCrotaz]

I'm still seeing this with Ember 4.3.0 with npm pdfjs-dist

[NullVoxPopuli]

Do you have the latest ember-cli-babel, and only one copy in your whole package graph?

[nickschot]

From what I've seen this issue can still occur in certain situations when a newer than 7.12.x @babel/runtime sneaks up to the root of node_modules and you have externalHelpers enabled. See: https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/issues/442

Is this what you're seeing too @BryanCrotaz or is there another path to breakage?

Hello @BryanCrotaz! I face the same issue with pdfjs-dist integration. Did you manage to find a fix (other than using the "legacy" version)? Could you please share your findings? Thank you in advance!

[BryanCrotaz]

I went through and upgraded all my addons.

[minwyy]

I'm still seeing this with Ember 4.3.0 with npm pdfjs-dist

Hi @BryanCrotaz , I am doing the pdfjs-dist integration and meeting the same issue. I realised it is actually ember-auto-import issue as imported node module package (e.g. pdfjs) are transpired, instead of by ember-cli-babel, are by "babel-loader" with webpack when being imported by ember-auto-import. It should be working out-of-box as private methods are officially supported in babel/preset-env, however there is a bug preventing that. After I manually implement the babel-loader in the ember-cli-build the integration is working now. Here is my test app.
