[v5] Failed to meet quorum when importing from @ethersproject/providers directly

[Mrtenz]

When trying to use any Provider method, it seems that importing from @ethersproject/providers doesn't work, wheres importing from ethers works fine. I'd prefer to import from @ethersproject/providers, since I don't need all of the functionality provided by ethers.

I am able to reproduce the issue with this code:

// This works fine
import { getDefaultProvider } from 'ethers';

const provider = getDefaultProvider();
    provider.getBalance('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
      .then(console.log)
      .catch(console.error);

// This doesn't work
import { getDefaultProvider } from '@ethersproject/providers';

const provider = getDefaultProvider();
    provider.getBalance('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
      .then(console.log)
      .catch(console.error);

The second one results in a long error:

Here is a minimal repo where I'm able to reproduce this issue: https://github.com/Mrtenz/ethers.js-issue.

There was a similar discussion recently: check this. A common factor in both issues is that, a blunder is involved. However, in my project (typescript/nodejs) the second snippet code works. Can this be an issue from the bundler? If someone can try reproducing with a different bundler.

[Mrtenz]

Here's a version with a minimal Webpack configuration, no TypeScript, Babel or other stuff. I'm still able to reproduce, it seems like an incompatiblity with Ethers.js and browsers?

[Mrtenz]

When using a JsonRpcProvider with a custom Ethereum node, it just fails with

Error: could not detect network (code=NETWORK_ERROR, version=providers/5.0.0-beta.171)

But no HTTP request is made at all...

I generally avoid running arbitrary repos on my computer. Can you include the output for dist/ in the repo?

Also, it looks like your web pack config may be missing the mainFields? Can you try adding "browser" to [the resolve.mainFields?

[Mrtenz]

I just pushed dist to the repo. Webpack should look for the browser field by default:

When the target property is set to webworker, web, or left unspecified:

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
 //...
 resolve: {
   mainFields: ['browser', 'module', 'main']
 }
};

One more quick ask to help me debug... Can you include a non-minified version? :)

I see... Yes, I missed that "unspecified" part...

[Mrtenz]

Just pushed a non-minified version. Thanks for looking into this!

[ricmoo]

Can you try out 5.0.0-beta.192 and let me know if that resolves the issue with react?

Thanks! :)

[Mrtenz]

It's working now. thanks again 👍

[ricmoo]

I apparently posted a comment meant for this issue into the wrong tab. This was meant for this issue.

Not that it matters much. but might be useful in the future to keep things cross-referenced. :)

For those that are still having problems after the patch. Try switch from esm to cjs. I was having the same problems in Aws lambda.
