UnhandledRejection: The "path" argument must be of type string or an instance of URL. Received undefined

[Freed-Wu]

import open from 'open';

//...
    this.addAction('open', async (item: ListItem) => {
      let status = 'succeed';
      try {
        await open(item.data.url);
      } catch (e) {
        status = 'failed';
      }
      window.showMessage(`${status} to open ${item.data.url}`);
    });

After yarn build, I test and get:

UnhandledRejection: The "path" argument must be of type string or an instance of URL. Received undefined
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string or an instance of URL. Received undefined
    at fileURLToPath (node:internal/url:1399:11)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/the/path/lib/index.js:3627:84)

So I search /the/path/lib/index.js:3627:84, and find:

// node_modules/open/index.js
var import_meta = {};
var __dirname = import_node_path.default.dirname((0, import_node_url.fileURLToPath)(import_meta.url));

The last line is 3627. It looks like a bug about node_modules/open/index.js, So I report it.

Removing the const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)); line from index.js in my node_modules folder temporarily fixed this for me since the __dirname variable is included with node by default. I found a similar issue on another repo and there the fix was to use __dirname instead of import.meta.url.

@sindresorhus is a fix in sight for this?

The problem is with people's bundler config, not this package. There is nothing to fix here.

The problem is with people's bundler config

This is my esbuild.mjs. Can you help me find the problem? TIA!

import fs from "fs";
import * as esbuild from "esbuild";

const loadJSON = (path) =>
  JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(new URL(path, import.meta.url)));
const data = loadJSON("package.json");

const options = {
  entryPoints: ["src/index.ts"],
  bundle: true,
  minify: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production",
  sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
  mainFields: ["module", "main"],
  external: ["coc.nvim"],
  platform: "node",
  target: "node16",
  outfile: data.main,
};

if (process.argv.length > 2 && process.argv[2] === "--watch") {
  const ctx = await esbuild.context(options);
  await ctx.watch();
  console.log("watching...");
} else {
  const result = await esbuild.build(options);
  if (result.errors.length) {
    console.error(result.errors);
  }
}

  if (result.errors.length) {
    console.error(result.errors);
  }
}

I was able to fix it by adding the following lines to my esbuild options:

define: { 'import.meta.url': '_importMetaUrl' },
banner: {
    js: "const _importMetaUrl=require('url').pathToFileURL(__filename)",
},
