Stack trace: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module

[ValentinMumble]

Hello, First, thanks for this plugin. But unfortunately I struggle to enable it on my freshly installed Volumio (v3.779) on a Raspberry Pi 3+ The installation works fine but each time I try to enable it, I get this error in the logs and Volumio starts crashing until I remove the plugin folder... Does this ring a bell to anyone? Thanks!

Appears that a dependency was published two days ago with a minor version upgrade that led to this issue. That upgrade shouldn't have been marked as minor as it contains breaking changes. Anyway, will see if I can resolve this soon.

[ValentinMumble]

Thanks for the info! In the meantime, would it be possible to fix the dependency to a previous version in the package.json maybe?

[patrickkfkan]

Yes, you could do:

$ cd /data/plugins/user_interface/now_playing/
$ npm i point-in-polygon-hao@1.1.0 --production
$ systemctl restart volumio

[patrickkfkan]

The issue is being tracked here:

https://github.com/rowanwins/point-in-polygon-hao/issues/20

If it's resolved there, then all is good and nothing needs to be done other than reinstalling the plugin.

Thanks, the workaround worked. UI came back up as soon as I ran npm as it was constantly restarting. Very much appreciate your help.,
