Does not work with ES6 import

[jdhiro]

For reasons, I'm not clear on yet, this does not seem to work with ES6 imports on Node 14.

For example, this does not work: import db from '$/lib/db.js'

But this does: const db = require('$/lib/db')

The resulting error looks like this:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '$' imported from /Users/jd/dev/my-app/my-file.mjs
    at packageResolve (internal/modules/esm/resolve.js:655:9)
    at moduleResolve (internal/modules/esm/resolve.js:696:18)
    at Loader.defaultResolve [as _resolve] (internal/modules/esm/resolve.js:810:11)
    at Loader.resolve (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:85:40)
    at Loader.getModuleJob (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:229:28)
    at ModuleWrap.<anonymous> (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:51:40)
    at link (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:50:36) {
  code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND'
}

At a high level, it looks like Node might be resolving packages for an import in a completely different fashion, perhaps making basetag incompatible. Or I'm missing something.

This is strange, we are testing on Node v14 with imports.

Can you send me some details on your system and exact Node version number – will try to reproduce...

Also, double check that node_modules/$ exists. It's deleted every time you run npm install rather than npm ci.

I've got a PR in #21 as a partial fix for that specific issue.

@janniks I'm not yet sure what changed my side, but it seems to be working fine in imports now. I did uninstall and reinstall basetag when I was having issues even with require imports.

I'm currently running v14.15.0

That's what led me to do the uninstall/reinstall. Thank you!
