Node compat for `matchesGlob` from `node:path`?

Hi there 👋 I'm new here but have been a deno fan from the get-go and have several project running on deno deploy v1 and v2 - love it!

I'm using deno 2.5.2 locally

Right now I'm attempting to deploy a tanstack-start app using the Nitro adapter (nightly v3 version) - https://nitro.build/deploy/providers/deno-deploy - https://tanstack.com/start/latest/docs/framework/react/hosting But using that I cant even build and this is the error I get:

deno task build        
Task build vite build
error during build:
SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:path' does not provide an export named 'matchesGlob' at file:///Users/tobias/dev/tolu/tanstack-start-deno/node_modules/.deno/unstorage@2.0.0-alpha.3/node_modules/unstorage/dist/drivers/fs.mjs:2:35

I've simplified the issue to this code, and I dont really understand why this should not work?

import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';
console.log(matchesGlob(Deno.cwd(), '**/*.json'));

import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';
console.log(matchesGlob(Deno.cwd(), '**/*.json'));

terminal output:

❯ deno run ./deno-test.ts
error: Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:path' does not provide an export named 'matchesGlob'
import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';

❯ deno run ./deno-test.ts
error: Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:path' does not provide an export named 'matchesGlob'
import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';

What am I doing wrong here? Help very much appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏

I rewrote and expanded your test case a bit so it works in Node (24+) and should work Deno (fails of course as shown above):

import { matchesGlob } from "node:path";
import { readdirSync } from "node:fs";
import { join } from "node:path";
import process from "node:process";

const cwd = process.cwd();
const files = readdirSync(cwd);

console.log(`Testing matchesGlob() for files in: ${cwd}\n`);

files.forEach((file) => {
  const fullPath = join(cwd, file);
  const matches = matchesGlob(fullPath, "**/*.json");
  console.log(`${file}: ${matches}`);
});

import { matchesGlob } from "node:path";
import { readdirSync } from "node:fs";
import { join } from "node:path";
import process from "node:process";

const cwd = process.cwd();
const files = readdirSync(cwd);

console.log(`Testing matchesGlob() for files in: ${cwd}\n`);

files.forEach((file) => {
  const fullPath = join(cwd, file);
  const matches = matchesGlob(fullPath, "**/*.json");
  console.log(`${file}: ${matches}`);
});

Node output:

$ node main.ts 
Testing matchesGlob() for files in: /node-matchesGlob

.git: false
deno.json: true
deno.lock: false
main.ts: false

$ node main.ts 
Testing matchesGlob() for files in: /node-matchesGlob

.git: false
deno.json: true
deno.lock: false
main.ts: false

Deno stays the same:

$ deno fmt --check && deno lint && deno check
Checked 2 files
Checked 1 file
Check file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts

$ deno main.ts 
error: Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:path' does not provide an export named 'matchesGlob'
import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';
         ^
    at <anonymous> (file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts:1:10)

$ deno fmt --check && deno lint && deno check
Checked 2 files
Checked 1 file
Check file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts

$ deno main.ts 
error: Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:path' does not provide an export named 'matchesGlob'
import { matchesGlob } from 'node:path';
         ^
    at <anonymous> (file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts:1:10)

I'd recommend to open an issue for this. Interesting, there is -> https://docs.deno.com/api/node/path/~/path.PlatformPath.matchesGlob But that seems only to exist as a type?

$ deno fmt --check && deno lint && deno check
Checked 2 files
Checked 1 file
Check file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts
TS2693 [ERROR]: 'PlatformPath' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.
  const matches = PlatformPath.matchesGlob(fullPath, "**/*.json");
                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    at file:///node-matchesGlob/main.ts:13:19

error: Type checking failed.
