I found an incompatibility issue when using @flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle version 1.x.x with ethers version 6.x.x, resulting in a module not found error.

Component: @flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle

Steps to reproduce bug:

  1. Set up a Node.js project with ethers v6.x.x and @flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle v1.x.x installed as dependencies in package.json.
  2. Write or use existing TypeScript/JavaScript code that imports and attempts to initialize FlashbotsBundleProvider from @flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle.
  3. Run the code or tests that involve this import and initialization.

Expected behavior:

The FlashbotsBundleProvider should be imported and initialized successfully without errors when used with a compatible version of ethers v6, as indicated by the Flashbots library documentation for v1.x.x.

Actual behavior:

When running the code, the following error occurs:

Cannot find module '@ethersproject/web' from 'node_modules/@flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle/build/index.js'

This error indicates that the Flashbots library is attempting to import a module (@ethersproject/web) that is part of the ethers v5 structure but is not present or has been moved/removed in ethers v6.

Version number:

  • ethers: ^6.11.1
  • @flashbots/ethers-provider-bundle: ^1.0.0 (the latest version)
  • Node.js: v20.18.1

Operating system:

Windows 11
