[ERROR] Could not resolve "ws"

[hopezh]

I got the following error while running the example code rhino3dm.js.

I don't know how to ...mark the path "ws" as external to exclude it from the bundle, as suggested in the error message.

May I ask if I have missed something important here?

  You can mark the path "ws" as external to exclude it from
  the bundle, which will remove this error and leave the
  unresolved path in the bundle. You can also surround this
  "require" call with a try/catch block to handle this
  failure at run-time instead of bundle-time.

[fraguada]

Please try with rhino3dm@8.4.0 as there is an issue with 8.6.0. I've since deprecated 8.6.0 and made 8.4.0 latest.

[fraguada]

I am preparing an 8.6.1 release for js. If you can test this package, I would really appreciate it: https://github.com/mcneel/rhino3dm/actions/runs/9017758138/artifacts/1487757185

[fraguada]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/rhino3dm/v/8.6.1 has been published which should resolve this issue. Please let me know if that is not the case.

[hopezh]

Thanks, @fraguada.

I still got the following error while running the example code on the latest npm repo of rhino3dm, and the test code is in this repo.

(BTW, I init the test repo with npm create vite@latest.)

[fraguada]

Unfortunately I don't know anything about vite, so don't know how to help. I'll try running vite to see if I can figure out the issue.

[jdev-chicago]

any updates on this issue? I'm running into the same error. vite@latest : Typescript+SWC

[mr07s]

I was facing the same issue, but after upgrading to ws version 8.18.0, the issue was resolved.

[fraguada]

@hopezh @jdev-chicago Can you check if updating ws to 8.18.0 as @mr07s suggested works for you?
