Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'p-queue' after updating to 7.1.0

[rakhadkz]

6.6.2 => 7.1.0
I've found a pretty similar issue title before, but that one was related to react-scripts start command
It works with the previous Major version. I moved to ESM (replaced requied() to import). Any ideas?

node version 14.x
p-queue 7.1.0

using webpack-dev-server (^3.11.1)

[sindresorhus]

This is not the place to ask for support regarding Webpack or webpack-dev-server. This package works fine with plain Node.js. I would open an issue on Webpack or webpack-dev-server asking for help there.

I have the same problem with parcel on version 7.1.0, but it works fine with version 6.6.2.

I also have the same problem with 7.1.0 with webpack build. I'm downgrading to 6.6.2.

[bjornlll]

I had the same issue with an expo init-generated React Native app (using Facebook's Metro Bundler, not webpack).

Thanks for the tip! Downgrading to 6.6.2 solved it for me.

@sindresorhus this is an issue with this lib.
Importing with import PQueue from 'p-queue' just fails. Webpack cannot find your export path (latest webpack5, using tons of other esm import and they all work fine)

Ran into the same issue. Importing
import PQueue from 'p-queue/dist';
worked

I'm having the same problem in here and I think this isn't a problem with this library. I think, however, for compatibility reasons, a "module" field is missing on this lib's package.json so tools like tsdx (that uses rollup) can work fine.

Ran into the same issue. Importing
import PQueue from 'p-queue/dist';
worked

The error maybe package not export main entry point

I'm try local, add the main define , it works

It indeed runs just fine with plain javascript.

Another issue is that it confuses eslint-plugin-import on import/no-unresolved. Which does resolve when it's p-queue/dist however .esm won't import on that.

This isn't the case with p-all, p-map, or p-throttle, not sure what's different in this module, but my project is only partially esm and it's only maintained for pure esm projects.

Doing some research, it seems that p-queue is different from Sindre's other p-* modules in that p-queue has a build step and exports ./dist/index.js:

p-queue/package.json

Line 9 in c12ec2e

"exports": "./dist/index.js",

Meanwhile the other packages don't have a build step but instead "exports": "./index.js", directly:

• https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-series/blob/212bcf2a0712af8451f90c72f2b2b8006b1c7f60/package.json#L14
• https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-all/blob/cdfa57c7df33a6b097568de091ce57edffad43fd/package.json#L14
• https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-map/blob/66b039b20d362c3d508f15b11dd867638b02f75b/package.json#L14

I'm guessing that webpack and other bundlers, when they don't find a main field, they will fallback to using the default index.js, (see specification here). For all the other packages, this is fine because the file is indeed stored at ./index.js, however for p-queue, the file is stored in ./dist/index.js. Not sure why webpack (and other bundlers) are ignoring the exports directive though. Could be a bug or ambiguity in the specifications. Maybe the projects using p-queue needs to have "type": "module" set?

import PQueue from 'p-queue/dist'; worked for me in Meteor app.

This should be documented somehow 🤔

[joao-furtado-sada]

After wasting hours of my life looking for a solution to this, the only thing that comes to my mind is:

Why the hell JS/TS cannot simply WORK?

I love TS, but it's impressive how you just waste a ton of time chasing around zero-value env-related issues because someone decided that ESM was a good idea.

Sorry for the rant

Back to work

import PQueue from 'p-queue/dist' no longer works when moduleResolution is NOT set to "Node" (Node16) with react native 0.74

Ok it works, you just need to redeclare the types

// esm.d.ts

declare module 'p-queue/dist' {
    export * from 'p-queue';
    export { default } from 'p-queue';
}

declare module 'p-memoize/dist' {
    export * from 'p-memoize';
    export { default } from 'p-memoize';
}
