Error importing module

[zeljko-bulatovic]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is related to hocuspucus server, or to my config, but when i followed tutorial, i am not able to run my server, because of the added import.

I am receiving the following error:
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: .../node_modules/@hocuspocus/server/dist/hocuspocus-server.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.

I am using Babel for build..

Update:

I found that this issue is related to the node version:
manuelbieh/geolib#208

After switching to node version 12.12.0, now i got error from your module:

import WebSocket from 'ws';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
....

Oh, we’ve developed under Node 15. It’s not compatible with older versions, at least for now.

Any chance you could try Node 15?

[zeljko-bulatovic]

Huh, i will try to update my project to node 15 first. Thank you for answer!

[zeljko-bulatovic]

Thank you for forcing me to update the project to the latest node :) It is working now :)

I had the same issue, and upgrading to node 16 didn't help.

For others with this issue:
It turned out that I had to set "type": "module" in my package.json, and then I was able to compile.

Yeah for now we only provide ESM modules. And since April 30, every LTS version of node has ESM support.
