Wizer failing on `marked` NPM package

[technosophos]

I don't know if it is worth capturing errors like this, but..

The marked Markedown parser seems to cause a failure in Wizer or Componentize.js

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new TS project
2. npm i and then npm i marked
3. Edit the code as shown below
4. run spin build --up

Code:

import { ResponseBuilder } from "@fermyon/spin-sdk";
import { Marked } from "marked";

export async function handler(req: Request, res: ResponseBuilder) {
    let md = new Marked();
    res.send(await md.parse("Hello _world_"));
}

Output:

$ spin build --up

Similar problem with micromark

But for those looking for a working Markdown processor in Spin, markdown-it works great.

I can reproduce this with a very simple reduced test case:

addEventListener('fetch', async (event) => {
    "sdf".match(/[\p{L}\p{N}]/u);
});

Not yet sure why this fails: line 2 in that test case works in Firefox's devtools shell and in a standalone SpiderMonkey shell. Will dig in more.

oooh, I'm pretty sure I know: StarlingMonkey doesn't currently include unicode support, because that's broken in SpiderMonkey's WASI port. Unfortunately there's little we can do about that until that problem is fixed :/
