I can't help you unfortunately - https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/frida-il2cpp-bridge/wiki/Installation clearly shows which files do you need and what their content is, so you are probably missing something.

@vfsfitvnm Hi，Can you help me have a look ？Several methods have been tried 。 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73047712/problem-with-installing-frida-module-frida-il2cpp-bridge

This issue can be resolved by using lower version of frida-compile.

It seems there's a lot a of change in frida-compile how it compiles. So follow wiki guides and anyone who encounter this issue must check their package.json and check frida-compile's version is ^10.2.4 .

after downgrade my frida-compile version to 10.2.4，it solved my problem. thanks :）

@notwhy Alternatively, I recommend using esbuild instead of frida-compile, as it is way faster than the latter - that's what I personally use in my playground.

[vfsfitvnm]

Also, I apologize for being rude with you - unfortunately many people open issues about basic typescript stuff, and I always reply with contempt in such cases - I'm not a help desk.

This was not the case, however, you didn't include your project files and you didn't provide the commands sequence - so I couldn't help you further.

[notwhy]

Don't feel guilty. You're too kind

Giving and helping without compensation should not be blamed.

I also forgot to post my command sequence (the URL of the installation https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69980349/problem-with-installing-frida-module-frida-il2cpp-bridge-and-make-it-running). I have tried other methods of installation, but this error occurs most often. I also tried to change the Frida compile version in the past. But there will be a timeout after the change, so I went to the Internet to find the installation tutorial, and found that it was the same. I suspected that there was a problem in some local environment, but I was a novice, and I didn't know how to solve it.

Now the problem is solved. :)

Thank you for your contribution to open source

Have a good day @vfsfitvnm

Hi @vfsfitvnm you mention in a comment that you're using esbuild in your playground. May I ask what settings you're using? Thanks!
