Dependency Injection not working when using serverless-esbuild plugin

[svetlasyrimis]

Hello,

I've encountered that weirdly dependency injection breaks(Nest.js project) when attempting to use serverless-esbuild in local environment. However when attempting to use serverless-webpack it's all working fine.

serverless-offline@8.3.1 serverless-esbuild@1.23.3 serverless@2.72.2 serverless-webpack@5.6.0

custom:
  serverless-offline:
    httpPort: 4000
    lambdaPort: 4001
  esbuild:
    bundle: true
    minify: false
    platform: 'node'
    external:
      - "cache-manager"
      - "class-transformer"
      - "class-validator"
      - "@nestjs/microservices"
      - "@nestjs/websockets/socket-module"
      - "fastify-swagger"
    watch:
      pattern: ['src/**/*.ts']

Het @svetlasyrimis, thanks for raising it. Does it work in the deployed environment? Could you also try set all nestjs packages as external

Thanks for your prompt reply, will try that.

Using custom esbuild script to deploy, not sls.

I used @anatine/esbuild-decorators plugin as this example here: https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/Function, and it solved the problem.

Thank you @vinicius91carvalho , will try that. So far still not working.

Update: Using esbuild-plugin-ts-decorators and plugins option in serverless.yaml actually made it work. Thanks for the help @vinicius91carvalho :)

@svetlasyrimis Am i missing something? how do you use esbuild-plugin-ts-decorators in the serverless.ts file

This is what she meant by

serverless.yml

  esbuild:
    plugins: esbuild-plugins.js
    bundle: true
    minify: true
    sourcemap: true
    external:
      - 'class-transformer'
      - 'class-validator'
      - '@nestjs/microservices'
      - '@nestjs/websockets/socket-module'

      - 'cache-manager'
      - 'fastify-swagger'

esbuild-plugins.js

/* eslint-disable @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires */
const { esbuildDecorators } = require('esbuild-plugin-typescript-decorators');

module.exports = () => {
  return [esbuildDecorators()];
};
