Additional context So in commit 882ac9eb79593ef1ecf6c687e97b26865c82878c the logic for (if I read correctly) detecting if it is running in a browser was removed. It is weird, because the original PR #165 keeps this intact so maybe the PR merge went wrong?

This is happening for me as well.

Unhandled application error: TypeError: process.on is not a function
WebsocketProvider y-websocket.js:361

Reference:

if (typeof process !== 'undefined') {
  process.on('exit', this._exitHandler)
}

Note that this only happens because you are using a bundler (or some extension) that tries to polyfill nodejs.

I added an environment check to avoid this. Let me know if this doesn't fix the issue. If not, please supply the specific build steps that cause the issue.

This worked for me, thanks. I am using vite 5.0.11. Incidentally, this same issue manifested at the same time in another package I'm using.

@dmonad thanks for adding environment check!

Small note, the check was not added to the destroy method and that can still throw an error in this case (when process is (partially) polyfilled).

Can you add the env.isNode to that place as well?
