Describe the Bug

Thanks for maintaining this project! I got a problem when making executable with canvas:

I found a related issue: https://github.com/vercel/pkg/issues/1135, but it seems still not fixed on macos...

Expected Behavior

make executable with canvas

To Reproduce

reproduce repo here: https://github.com/winjeysong/pkg-canvas-test. after cloning, run scripts below and you will see the error message I've mentioned above.

pnpm i
pnpm make-bin
pnpm run-bin

add missing lib to assets

[winjeysong]

assets already set in package.json, but useless... 😭

[robertsLando]

Try with node_modules/canvas/**/*

[winjeysong]

Try with node_modules/canvas/**/*

still error... It seems pkg only copies canvas.node to cache dir, but ignores all other .dylib files

[robertsLando]

The code that handles the copy of that folder is this: https://github.com/yao-pkg/pkg/blob/main/prelude/bootstrap.js#L2199

Try to debug it yourself (maybe better if you create a minimal repo that only imports canvas) and then open a PR

You can also try to package your applicaiton with --debug flag and then run it with DEBUG_PKG=2 env var to see what's inside the snapshot. See docs here: https://github.com/yao-pkg/pkg?tab=readme-ov-file#debug

Thank you for your rapid response. I'm debugging now, and I'll open a PR asap.

[winjeysong]

After debugging, I find that running pkg src/index.js --output dist/bin --targets node18-macos-x64 --compress GZip will not include packageJSON.pkg config. And I reread the doc carefully, It says:

Just be sure to call pkg package.json or pkg . to make use of package.json configuration.

I changed package.json and it works now.

It would be nice if the packageJSON.pkg config merges with command line config.

Would you like to submit a PR? Glad you fixed your issue anyway :)
