TC39 stage 3 decorators not working anymore in Deno Deploy

As of Feb 15th, deployments to #deploy™ fail when using TC39 decorators. Despite the decision to support legacy decorators in Deno 1.40+, see @bartlomieju 's post here https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/19160#issuecomment-1855462766, when compiling, the experimentalDecorators config is ignored and I suspect any decorator, including the TS 5.0 ones, causes compilation to fail. I'm supposed to go live in a few weeks and I my app doesn't run on Deno Deploy anymore. https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/19160#issuecomment-1949548670 https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/22419

I apologize, but I wasn't able to find the answer to your question in the official Deno documentation. However, based on the information you've provided in your message, it seems like there might be an issue with the Deno Deploy compilation process regarding decorators. While I cannot provide a solution based on the Deno documentation, I can suggest ensuring that your TypeScript configuration is set up correctly to enable experimental support for decorators if you haven't done so already. This typically involves setting the experimentalDecorators option to true in your tsconfig.json file. Please note that this advice is not based on the Deno documentation, and I advise you to double-check the accuracy of this advice. Since this is a recent issue, it might also be helpful to keep an eye on the GitHub issues you've linked to see if there are any updates or workarounds provided by the Deno team or community. If the problem persists, consider reaching out on the GitHub issues for further assistance from the Deno developers.

experimentalDecorators option is correctly set as per my comments in the github issue. This looks like a breaking change introduced by the adoption of the newest deno runtime in #deploy™ . It's likely affecting all the applications that use decorators. Any new deployment is likely to break for this applications. Seems quite serious from my perspective.

Deno AI Helper•6mo ago

I understand the severity of the situation, especially with your upcoming live deployment. It does seem like a critical issue if the adoption of the newest Deno runtime in Deno Deploy is causing breaking changes for applications that use decorators. Given that you have already set the experimentalDecorators option correctly and have provided information on GitHub, the best course of action would be to actively engage with the Deno team through the GitHub issues you've mentioned. Since this is a recent and potentially widespread issue, the Deno team is likely to prioritize a fix or provide a workaround. In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take: 1. Monitor the GitHub Issues: Keep an eye on the existing GitHub issues for any updates or comments from the Deno team. They might provide a temporary workaround or a patch. 2. Engage with the Community: Continue to engage with the community on the Deno Discord and GitHub. Other developers might be experiencing the same issue and could have insights or workarounds. 3. Prepare for a Rollback: If possible, prepare to rollback to a previous version of your application that is stable on Deno Deploy, until the issue is resolved. 4. Local Testing: If you haven't already, try to replicate the issue locally with the same Deno runtime version used in Deno Deploy to see if you can identify any additional information that could help resolve the issue. 5. Alternative Deployment Strategies: As a last resort, consider if there are alternative deployment strategies that could be used temporarily, such as containerization, until the issue is resolved. Remember to keep all communication with the Deno team constructive and provide as much detail as possible to help them understand and address the issue

Ack, i will look into the problem once I'm back at work @CodeSnaporaz when was the last time you tried deploying it?

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

"minor changes" as in "gaaack! wth is going on?" 😄 Just to give you some further background: I DIFFed the two commits at the bottom to see what was different. The only change was an (unused) import in deno.jsonc:

{
   "imports": {
      "ics" : "npm:ics"
//...
}

{
   "imports": {
      "ics" : "npm:ics"
//...
}

I reverted that change but it made no difference.

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

Compiles and runs in 1.39.4, breaks in 1.40.0

bartlomieju•6mo ago

Can you try deploying again today?

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

I can now if that works for you.

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

bartlomieju•6mo ago

Thanks. I'll be back in work on Wednesday so I'll take care of it

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

Much appreciated

bartlomieju•6mo ago

We've identified a fix and are working on deploying it The fix has been deployed now

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

That's impressive. Go Deno team. What was the fix? Do we have it tracked on GitHub? Locally still fails so I suspect it's a hot-fix on #deploy™ for the time being, right?

bartlomieju•6mo ago

Deploy misssed reading configuration when it was updated to the latest Deno runtime What does file locally? Can you show me the repro? It should work correctly in any 1.40.x release

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

same repo that now succeeds on Deploy. It's a private one. The failure happens when executing a compiled deno app as per https://discord.com/channels/684898665143206084/1208544667038388295/1208894962830282793 I tried this morning with runtime 1.40.5. Is there any argument to be passed to deno compile or the executable in order for the decorators to be recognized?

bartlomieju•6mo ago

-.- Okay, so it's in deno compile

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

I'd imagine so. But how come #deploy™ is now working?

bartlomieju•6mo ago

Because we updated Deploy to respect the configuration

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

does deploy use different tools from deno compile?

bartlomieju•6mo ago

It uses the same tools, but there are various knobs that can be tweaked Looks like we missed to turn the knob in deno compile. I'm looking into the problem right now. Can reproduce it

Marvellous! In the meantime I truly appreciate the fix in Deploy.

Sure thing, sorry for the problems

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

Tested 1.41.0. Working now. Thanks a lot

fro.profesional•6mo ago

@bartlomieju I'm currently trying to deploy this:

import "npm:reflect-metadata";
import { injectable, container } from "npm:tsyringe";

class Module {
  constructor() { }

  some() {
    return "some"
  }
}

@injectable()
class App {

  constructor(
    private module: Module
  ) { }

  callSome() {
    return this.module.some()
  }
}

const app = container.resolve(App);

Deno.serve(() => {
  return new Response(app.callSome())
})

import "npm:reflect-metadata";
import { injectable, container } from "npm:tsyringe";

class Module {
  constructor() { }

  some() {
    return "some"
  }
}

@injectable()
class App {

  constructor(
    private module: Module
  ) { }

  callSome() {
    return this.module.some()
  }
}

const app = container.resolve(App);

Deno.serve(() => {
  return new Response(app.callSome())
})

It works, locally but it fails to deploy with the following error:

error: The deployment failed: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION

Is that expected? I'm deploying a main.ts file and a deno.json with emitDecoratorMetadata and experimentalDecorators both set to true

bartlomieju•6mo ago

Does it work with Deno V1.40.4?

fro.profesional•6mo ago

Sorry for the late response It works with - deno 1.41.0 in local - deno 1.40.4 in local FYI: the errors I see while trying to deploy are the same as if no compilerOptions where used on local, so maybe the configuration from deno.json is not being applied?

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

It look like a separate issue from the decorators one. The exception is complaining about the type of App , unless I'm mising something.

fro.profesional•6mo ago

It complains that the TypeInfo not known for "App" since the decorators are not working, when they work (in local for example) there is no error This decorators help to inject at runtime a instance of the given class when resolvig from the container

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

What I'm trying to say is that, if the runtime gets to dependency-container.js in relation to App, it seems to mean that the decorators are recognised as such. It looks like a red herring to me. Surely, if there's something that won't work in Deploy, that suggests that there are differences in the way the app is running. Have you tried running the app as a compiled bundle or are you only running it straight with deno run?

fro.profesional•6mo ago

I'm only running it straight with deno run

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

ok, I'd suggest you try to compile it and run the executable. If you get the same issue locally, you might be able to isolate the problem more easily.

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

As a side note, are you at the beginning of your project? I see that tsyringe is an node package. I'm successfully using Oak-decorators, which I updated myself, successfully. At the moment I'm importing it from a github fork as I yet have to find the time to do the pull request. https://github.com/cleverplatypus/oak-decorators

I suspect the project was abandoned because reflect_metadata was a dud that prevented the whole thing from working. Luckily deno introduced the scopes configuration, which allowed me to add the drop-in replacement.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

Dropping in because oak decorators is really close to https://github.com/Savory/Danet Last time I checked around 6 months ago, deploy does not handle emitDecoratorsMetadata while the runtime does,so if you rely on paramstype metadata it won’t work. Maybe it has been implemented since @bartlomieju ? If it has not been implemented/fixed yet, @fro.profesional you have to first bundle your app in your ci/locally with the emitDecoratorMetadata options and then upload the bundle to deploy. Here is a guide to do so https://danet.land/deno-deploy.html It is made for Danet app but the concepts apply to any app that uses decorators and thus specific compiler options

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

oak-decorators doesn't rely on emitted metadata, as far as I can remember. At any rate it works with Deploy like a charm.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

Yes, but for fro's usecase, which is dependency injection (if I understood correctly the piece of code they gave), it probably needs it. But also just noticed it uses some npm packages, so maybe more shenanigans

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

oak-decorator does DI via the @Injectable decorator. I don't use that much in my projects as I'm but it's there.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

https://github.com/cleverplatypus/oak-decorators/blob/master/tsconfig.json has emitDecoratorMetadata

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

Danet is a complete solution (framework as they describe it) I guess oak-decorators is a discrete library that works on top of Oak, so I guess that if someone is familiar with Oak, it's an easy addition. might be in the config, doesn't mean it's relied upon.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

Without it, swc and tsc do not emit constructors and methods paramstype, so DI cannot work AFAIK

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

I seem to remember that, when I looked into it, I noticed that it was keeping a custom hash of metadata. I might be wrong. Once it was working, I stopped looking 😄

Sorikairo•6mo ago

But then, if you say that it works on Deploy without any bundling (and I believe you) it either means Deploy handles it now, or they do it another way. In both case, that's awesome

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

It always worked once I replaced reflect_metadata with deno_reflect the issue with reflect_metadata I think was some dependency with microsoft stuff or dom, don't remember

Sorikairo•6mo ago

But deno_reflect also need emitDecoratorMetadata as stated by their doc https://deno.land/x/deno_reflect@v0.2.0 (it's also what Danet uses)

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

I think they guy who first wrote oak-decorator bumped into the issue and found a workable strategy. I just stood on the shoulder of such giant and added some customisation that served me well.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

Do you have any open source repo of a project you deployed on Deno deploy that uses it by any chance ? it's on the back of my head for 2 years, if it gives me a resolution it would be cool (already starring all the repo you linked, for fairness)

CodeSnaporaz•6mo ago

Not open source ones, I'm afraid. Working on a couple of commercial products at the moment. They both use oak-decorators. One should launch in a few weeks.

Sorikairo•6mo ago

Gotcha, sad, but glad it works on Deploy for you then

fro.profesional•6mo ago

@Sori [He/Him] do you know of an alternative to deno bundle?

Sorikairo•6mo ago

I would say any bundling library such as esbuild ? I believe there were a few very valuable contribution to plugin to handle Deno well
