Installation tfjs-node@3.21.0 doesn't make `dist` folder

[tauraloke]

System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Ubuntu 20.04.1 WSL; also Windows 10 itself.
• Mobile device (e.g. iPhone 8, Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy) if the issue happens on mobile device: none
• TensorFlow.js installed from (npm or script link): npm
• TensorFlow.js version: @tensorflow/tfjs-node@3.21.0
• CUDA/cuDNN version: none

Describe the problem Installation doesn't make dist folder (without any error messages). Downgrading to @tensorflow/tfjs-node@3.20.0 is making dist folder correctly in the same environment.

Provide the exact sequence of commands / steps that you executed before running into the problem

mkdir test_bug-3-21-0 && cd test_bug-3-21-0
npm install --save @tensorflow/tfjs-node@3.21.0
stat ./node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node/dist

Expected result: bash: ./node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node/dist: No such file or directory

Any other info / logs

Similar issue for me. I got a node application using @tensorflow/tsjf-node@3.18.0 which suddenly stopped creating the dist directory during npm install. Worked yesterday without problems. Updating to @3.20.0 or @3.21.0 didn't work. Neither version creates the dist folder for me.

Some more infos about my application:

• Node application
• Running in docker (Container based on image node:lts)
• package.json got "@tensorflow/tfjs": "^3.18.0", and "@tensorflow/tfjs-node": "^3.18.0", as regular dependencies
• npm install is run inside the container to install dependencies from package.json
• no node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node/dist folder created at all

As at today I got this issue which is very similar to the above issue described. error:

• Provided module can't be loaded. Did you list all required modules in the package.json dependencies?
• Detailed stack trace: Error: Cannot find module '/node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node/dist/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

Sorry about this. There's likely a bug with the publishing script. I've published 3.21.1 with the dist/ folder and deprecated @tensorflow/tfjs-node 3.21.0.

[mattsoulanille]

Closing as 3.21.1 is published.
