SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' when running spectral lint

[heller-tobias]

Describe the bug When running the spectral-cli in version 6.11.1 I get the following error SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' .

To Reproduce

1. Run this CLI command 'spectral lint'
2. See error

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@stoplight/spectral-cli/node_modules/@stoplight/json/index.js:1 export * from './bundle'; ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' at internalCompileFunction (node:internal/vm:128:18) at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1279:20) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1331:27) at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1426:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1205:32) at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1021:12) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1230:19) at require (node:internal/modules/helpers:179:18) at Object.

Expected behavior We should be able to run spectral without an issue.

Spectral looks at latest version of https://github.com/stoplightio/json library and they've released new version of their package. As someone suggested under this issue https://github.com/stoplightio/json/issues/133 - spectral must be pinned to stable version, not the latest. BTW there is temporal workaround mentioned

Also impacted by the issue. For as of yet unknown reasons, the suggested workaround doesn't help.

We are also impacted by this. We temporarily worked around this issue with a package-lock.json to unblock ourselves for now:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@stoplight/json": "^3.20.3",
    "@stoplight/spectral-cli": "^6.5.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "@stoplight/spectral-cli": {
      "@stoplight/json": "3.20.3"
    },
    "@stoplight/spectral-parsers": {
      "@stoplight/json": "3.20.3"
    }
  }
}

This worked for us, but your mileage may vary.

Impacted as well. We're only using the cli. Would appreciate if it gets fixed soon.

Impacted too :)

As described above, an updated dependency is causing the issue. The dependency is not pinned in Spectral but set to latest and got updated. So all Spectral versions are affected.

As someone mentioned it here, this works - https://github.com/stoplightio/json/issues/133#issuecomment-2236318961

[mnaumanali94]

We are currently working on fixing this!

[ofer-h]

We encountered a similar issue in one of our libraries and managed to resolve it when working with npx in CI by replacing package-lock.json with npm-shrinkwrap.json. We missed the fact that package-lock.json is not published to npm, whereas npm-shrinkwrap.json is. This change ensured the correct versions of dependencies were used consistently.

For more details, you can refer to the documentation: npm shrinkwrap.

[mnaumanali94]

This should be fixed with this release: https://github.com/stoplightio/json/releases/tag/v3.21.3

I'll keep this issue open for a bit before closing. Let us know if y'all are still seeing issues.
