BUG: Error, Expected signal to be an instanceof AbortSignal

[bernatfortet]

I'm getting an error Expected signal to be an instanceof AbortSignal when doing any call, e.g. select
I assume, the same issue as #205, #204

I'm using next.js "next": "^13.5.2",
and using Airtable v0.12.2

After digging around I realized it's a node-fetch issues. I ended having to fork the library and edit many parts of it to make it work. Now I"m using my own version. Upgraded node-fetch and it was solved.

I think the issue is here. When doing next dev I'm not getting the issue, but when I'm serving or it's pushed to vercel I'm getting the issue. I think it's because it's not reaching the polyfill or something like that.

What would be the most helpful way to support the team in fixing this issue?

// istanbul ignore file
let AbortController: new () => AbortController;
const browserGlobal =
    typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window : typeof self !== 'undefined' ? self : null; // self is the global in web workers
if (!browserGlobal) {
    AbortController = require('abort-controller');
} else if ('signal' in new Request('https://airtable.com')) {
    AbortController = browserGlobal.AbortController;
} else {
    const polyfill = require('abortcontroller-polyfill/dist/cjs-ponyfill');
    AbortController = polyfill.AbortController;
}

export default AbortController;

@bendaly818 did you have the same issue?

I have the same issue @bernatfortet

@bernatfortet - Could you commit your changes to a PR? So we can hopefully expedite this change getting merged and a new Airtable.js release being tagged?

[bernatfortet]

Done: #388

I'm also facing this issue, I hope it's resolved.

@bernatfortet Do you have any current workaround for it?

[Khaan25]

Hey @bernatfortet I've fixed it. It's a workaround for now but here's the code you need to add:

{ "dependencies": { "airtable": "^0.12.2", "next": "13.5.2", "node-fetch": "^3.3.2", }, "overrides": { "airtable": { "node-fetch": "^3.3.1" } }, "devDependencies": { "@types/airtable": "^0.10.1" } }

I was getting the same error when using next14 during build
I fixed by adding following to next.conig.js

experimental: {
    serverMinification: false,
  },

[bernatfortet]

@bosung90 I assume that by doing serverMinification: false we're preventing next.js from being compressed. That doesn't sound ideal. I wonder if there's any other way to go around it.
