Describe the Bug

with the following frontmatter astro throws an error that i is not defined.

---
import type { ImageMetadata } from 'astro';

import Layout from '../layouts/FullWidth.astro';
import Section from '../components/page/Section.astro';
import StaffMember from '../components/page/StaffMember.astro';

import { Image } from 'astro:assets';

const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/pillar-contact/*.svg');

import { staff } from '../data/staff';

astro compiles to

export const $$metadata = $$createMetadata("Card.astro", { modules: [{ module: $$module1, specifier: '../layouts/FullWidth.astro', assert: {} }, { module: $$module2, specifier: '../components/page/Section.astro', assert: {} }, { module: $$module3, specifier: '../components/page/StaffMember.astro', assert: {} }, { module: $$module4, specifier: 'astro:assets', assert: {} }, { module: $$module5, specifier: '../data/staff', assert: {} }], hydratedComponents: [], clientOnlyComponents: [], hydrationDirectives: new Set([]), hoisted: [] });

const $$Astro = $$createAstro();
const Astro = $$Astro;
const $$Card = $$createComponent(async ($$result, $$props, $$slots) => {
const Astro = $$result.createAstro($$Astro, $$props, $$slots);
Astro.self = $$Card;

const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/pillar-contact/*.svg');

i

return $$render`wediowqed`;
}, 'Card.astro');
export default $$Card;

If i move the import above, the error goes away.

What's the expected result?

it should work no matter the order

It was really difficult to understand the error, because you didn't explain where is the error. And "If i move the import above" isn't very clear: above of what?

So, is it correct that the error is that i that appears after the import.meta.glob?

const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/pillar-contact/*.svg');

i // this one

return $$render`wediowqed`;
}, 'Card.astro');
export default $$Card;

I'm sorry. Yes the random i is the error and invalid syntax.

updating the frontmatter from

import type { ImageMetadata } from 'astro';

import Layout from '../layouts/FullWidth.astro';
import Section from '../components/page/Section.astro';
import StaffMember from '../components/page/StaffMember.astro';

import { Image } from 'astro:assets';

const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/pillar-contact/*.svg');

import { staff } from '../data/staff';

to

---
import type { ImageMetadata } from 'astro';

import Layout from '../layouts/FullWidth.astro';
import Section from '../components/page/Section.astro';
import StaffMember from '../components/page/StaffMember.astro';

import { Image } from 'astro:assets';

import { staff } from '../data/staff';

const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/pillar-contact/*.svg');

which is moving the const images = import.meta.glob< to the end of the frontmatter removes the invalid compiler generated syntax.

The temporary solution to this is to keep all the static import statements at the top of the file, and any runtime code (import.meta.glob) below the import statements!
