Issue with circular imports

[stephenh]

We have a codebase that follows this pattern:

https://medium.com/visual-development/how-to-fix-nasty-circular-dependency-issues-once-and-for-all-in-javascript-typescript-a04c987cf0de

For avoiding circular import issues with classes. Specifically class Foo extends Bar when Bar is undefined will cause a runtime error. Unfortunately, in large codebases it can be surprisingly easy to trip this up, hence following the pattern in that article of an internal.ts file that controls a defined import order.

However, esbuild-jest seems to not currently support the right import order / semantics.

I have a reproduction with the ~5 tiny files from the above blog post, converted to TS, and using esbuild-jest here:

https://github.com/stephenh/esbuild-register-circular

If you clone the repo, run npm i and npm test, you should see:

$ npm test

> [email protected] test
> jest

 FAIL  src/AbstractNode.test.ts
  ● Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null



      at Object.<anonymous> (src/Node.ts:28:36)
      at Object.<anonymous> (src/internal.ts:21:27)

Where as running with ts-jest will work (I don't technically have ts-jest setup in the repro project, but can add it if you'd like).

FWIW I'm having the same issue with esbuild-register, see: egoist/esbuild-register#62
