🐛 BUG: "Module cannot be synchronously required" when using `@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers`

[nvie]

Which Cloudflare product(s) does this pertain to?

Miniflare, Workers Vitest Integration

What version(s) of the tool(s) are you using?

wrangler@3.37.0, @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers@0.1.5, vitest@1.3.0

What version of Node are you using?

v18.19.1

What operating system and version are you using?

Mac Sonoma 14.2.1

Describe the Bug

Observed behavior

After switching to using @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers in the vitest.config.ts file, we're seeing CJS/ESM errors that were not there before. My minimal replication doesn't even use any Miniflare/Wrangler bits, but shows how just changing the defineConfig to defineWorkersConfig breaks the tests.

Expected behavior

The simple test would still pass, despite now using the defineWorkersConfig call.

Steps to reproduce

1. Check out my minimal replication on this branch
2. Check out the second-to-last commit
3. Run npm run test, notice it passes without using the pool workers wrapper
   
4. Now check out the last commit, which only changes the pool wrapper
5. Run npm run test, notice the tests now fail due to a CJS/ESM issue that wasn't there before

Please provide any relevant error logs

 FAIL  test/bug.test.ts [ test/bug.test.ts ]
Error: Module cannot be synchronously required while it is being instantiated or evaluated. This error typically means that a CommonJS or NodeJS-Compat type module has a circular dependency on itself, and that a synchronous require() is being called while the module is being loaded.

Another, maybe similar, CJS/ESM bug happens when importing from itty-router-extras@0.4.5.

Simply adding:

import { error } from "itty-router-extras" // @0.4.5

will break the test with the following error:

FAIL  test/bug.test.ts [ test/bug.test.ts ]
Error: No such module "Users/nvie/Projects/clean-project/node_modules/itty-router-extras/middleware".

We worked around this by no longer using these packages, and it's no longer an issue for us.

Is there an actual resolution to this problem other than not using the dependencies? Have the same problem for sermver. Should this issue actually be closed?

[ahmadbilaldev]

Facing the same issue. Is there a solution?

[FlowFlorent]

Getting a similar issue when using the svix package. Should this issue be reopened to hopefully find a solution?

Note: issue still present on 0.4.3

I'm seeing this issue with Kysely as a dependency in my project. Was wondering if there's been any further news on this.
