7517 :: .mjs import behaviour in node.js

• jan0sc (orginal) [2021-02-16T20:09:11+01:00] view original

  I have some nim code with embedded js like this:

  const myJsCode = """
  import fs from 'fs'
  // ...
  """
  {.emit:myJsCode.}
  import tables
  # ...
  Run

  The imports work fine in node.js as long as the code is compiled to a file with extension .mjs. However, the following

  const myJsCode = """
  import fs from 'fs'
  // ...
  """
  {.emit:myJsCode.}
  import tables, times
  # ...
  Run

  produces a runtime error:

  
  utcInstance_10980231 = [null];
                         ^
  ReferenceError: utcInstance_10980231 is not defined
  Run

  I'm guessing this is because there is a special js version of times? Does anyone have a workaround for this?
