TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received undefined

Hi, this is the code below:

  const transport = pino.transport({ target: 'pino-pretty' });
  const logger = pino(transport);

and this is the error that throws when webpack command executes:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received undefined

If you want any further code/description let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Have you followed the guide at https://github.com/pinojs/pino/blob/master/docs/bundling.md? If so could you upload a full repository with a complete way to reproduce?

[shahinghasemi]

@mcollina Thanks for the reply. I just followed them and the previous error is now gone! however I encountered a new one. this is the code to reproduce: webpack.config.js:

const {PinoWebpackPlugin} = require('pino-webpack-plugin')

module.exports = {
    entry: './pino/logger.js',
    mode: 'development',
    plugins: [
        new PinoWebpackPlugin({ transports: ['pino-pretty'] })
    ]
}

./pino/logger.js:

const pino = require('pino');
const transport = pino.transport({target: 'pino-pretty'})
const logger = pino(transport)

logger.info('done!')

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "webpack": "webpack"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "get-caller-file": "^2.0.5",
    "pino": "^7.5.1",
    "pino-abstract-transport": "^0.5.0",
    "pino-pretty": "^7.2.0",
    "pino-webpack-plugin": "^1.1.0",
    "webpack": "^5.65.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^4.9.1",
    "webpack-node-externals": "^3.0.0"
  }
}

First I executed npm run webpack then the bundles are generated inside dist directory: main.js, pino-file.js, pino-pipeline-worker.js, pino-worker.js. Finally I execute node dist/main.js which gives me this error:

const transport = pino.transport({target: 'pino-pretty'})
                       ^

[mcollina]

You are missing a target: 'node' in your webpack config.

Would you mind to verify everything works and send a PR to our docs to specify this is needed? Thx!

[shahinghasemi]

Sure but the error still exists even adding target:node:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1203
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE('filename', filename, createRequireError);
    ^

Please provide a full example to reproduce your problem, ideally in a repository we can easily clone.

[shahinghasemi]

Hello @mcollina , please clone this: https://github.com/shahinghasemi/pino-transport-bug

[ja-bravo]

I can reproduce the error with the repository above, I'm going to investigate

[ja-bravo]

I could not find exactly what the error is but I think it's actually related to pino-webpack-plugin and eval.

You can get the repo linked above by changing the webpack config to either match the one used in their tests i.e: mode: production, optimization: { minimize: false }

Or using any devtool value that does not use eval (reference)

I researched a bit but I have no experience with webpack plugins so didn't get anywhere, maybe the devtool workaround works for you @shahinghasemi

[gdorsi]

Hello!

I've added a test case on pino-webpack-plugin and found that merging this would solve the issue.

As a quick workaround you could also try to add caller: __filename to the pino transport options:

const pino = require('pino');
- const transport = pino.transport({target: 'pino-pretty'})
+ const transport = pino.transport({target: 'pino-pretty',caller: __filename})
const logger = pino(transport)

logger.info('done!')

I guess @ShogunPanda was probably aware of this issue then. Good that we have that one issue. So once that is in this issue is probably solved as well

[shahinghasemi]

@mcollina Thank you for fixing the issue. When the new release with this changes would be? is there any milestone to check?
