Deno install npm: specificers not working at the moment.

I have tried Deno Install and have added the packages to my deno.json using deno add with the npm: prefix.

{
  "name": "@scope/opsap-data",
  "exports": "./mod.ts",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "imports": {
    "@momiji/cors": "jsr:@momiji/cors@^1.0.1",
    "@oak/oak": "jsr:@oak/oak@^16.1.0",
    "rxdb": "npm:rxdb@^15.32.0",
    "rxjs": "npm:rxjs@^7.8.1"
  }
}

{
  "name": "@scope/opsap-data",
  "exports": "./mod.ts",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "imports": {
    "@momiji/cors": "jsr:@momiji/cors@^1.0.1",
    "@oak/oak": "jsr:@oak/oak@^16.1.0",
    "rxdb": "npm:rxdb@^15.32.0",
    "rxjs": "npm:rxjs@^7.8.1"
  }
}

However no matter what I try, I can't run any projects that were previously working and can't seem to get the imports working for rxdb npm packages. Stuck again, any help would be greatly appreciated. If I try to run a previous backend service that was working I get this now.

That's odd, I only get this error when DENO_FUTURE=1 is set, but not without it. Do you happen to have a package.json file in the same folder?

Sean Knowles•2mo ago

I am on canary deno, should I unset the DENO_FUTURE=1 (remove it)? No package.json - just a deno.json The opsap-data package is in my packages folder part of workspaces Its imported into a frontend and backend project in my apps folder.

The full monorepo is public, so you can test and replicate if its helpful https://github.com/zemili-group/moonrepoV3

Can reproduce it and it very much looks like a bug. It seems like package.json files in other workspace members influence the resolution of the backend workspace. Filed an issue for that https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/25355

Thanks Marvinh, muchos gracias for helping out. Is there a temporary workaround that spring to mind that I could try? Non of my projects will run at the moment.

marvinh.•2mo ago

the easiest is probably to downgrade to the last deno version you remember working

Sean Knowles•2mo ago

Okay will try it Last one I remember working was canary from a few days ago RC 2 didn't work for me, it was a canary version just after the release of rc2

marvinh.•2mo ago

you can upgrade to a specific commit by running

deno upgrade <commit-sha>

deno upgrade <commit-sha>

Sean Knowles•2mo ago

Reverted back tried different versions I am sorry to report that it's not currently working... Will have to wait for the fix

marvinh.•2mo ago

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll try to up the priority of that ticket internally

Is this related, because I had this issue before but and then I am sure I resolved it. I can't figure out if I am missing something? I've commented out all services that were rxdb dependent to try and get back to a state when things worked. None of my projects will run, with the

I've litterally added this packag everywhere in my project, every backend application and root deno.json has it. Its an internal Oak package. Am I missing something?

korosuke•2mo ago

Hi, I could start deno task dev once removed deno.lock file with dnoe version 1.46.1. I hope it helps you.

Sean Knowles•2mo ago
