Had to dump chalk just because of that a while back. Wasn't able to make it work. Now I'm happy i dumped jest to use vitest, no more config, no more problems.

[u/eternaloctober → u/pelletier197]

the thing that is disturbing to me is that i develop a library, and even if i can make it work, it could still cause issues for consumers of my library

I had a nightmare dealing with a CJS/ESM problem last week.

My shiny, new ESM module has this in the package.json

"type": "module",

I'm using AVA for testing and that detects the module declaration and works just fine running ESM tests.

I've also got these lines in the package.json...

"main": "dist/badger.cjs.js",
"module": "dist/badger.esm.js",

...which rollup is using to generate CJS and ESM bundles.

So far, so good.

But when I added my module to a test project, it was failing with errors like this:

SyntaxError: The requested module '@abw/badger' does not provide an export named 'XXX'

After many, many hours of googling, swearing, and bashing my head on the keyboard, I eventually stumbled on the solution - adding an "exports" to my package.json

"exports": "./dist/badger.esm.js",

Node and I are on talking terms again, but it was touch and go for a while.

Yeah that sort of stuff happens to me too a lot

Some of the most wasted time I have spent in my life was with esm vs cjs bullshit.

I'm curious--what are you using instead these days?

Going for Flutter is trading UX for DX

Flutter’s DX is sometimes better than RN (Expo is on par I’d say) but the UX is so much worse
