Next.js example breaks with v3

[stinoga]

Question

Are there steps documented anywhere for running V3 in your app? I'm trying to test it out via these steps:

1. Pointing to the alpha in my package.json: "@huggingface/transformers": "^3.0.0-alpha.10",
2. npm i
3. cd node_modules/@hugginface/transformers && npm i
4. copy the webpack.config.js from the repo into the node_modules/@hugginface/transformers dir.
5. npm run build in node_modules/@hugginface/transformers dir.

I then run my app, and get the following error:

ERROR in ../../node_modules/@huggingface/transformers/dist/transformers.js 42256:34-64
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './' in '/node_modules/@huggingface/transformers/dist'
webpack compiled with 1 error

Thanks, I'm excited to test out the latest and greatest!

+1 on this error. Also in 3.0.0-alpha.13

Hi there! 👋 What environment are you running in (OS, build tool, browser, node)? 👀 I haven't seen an error like this before 🤔 Can you share your webpack config?

Sure can!

OS: Sonoma 14.6.1
Build tool: Lerna
Browser: Chrome
Node: v22.3.0

Regarding webpack config, we aren't using webpack. The config I coped into transformers dir was from the main branch.

webpack 5.93.0 compiled with 1 error in 2902 ms

I ran into this issue when using webpack on worker.js into worker.bundle.js. @xenova/transformers on 2.17.2 worked just fine. I tried upgrading to @huggingface/transformers on 3.0.0-alpha.14.

I'm on:
macOS: 14.3.1 (23D60)
Node: v22.7.0
Browser: Firefox

With the following import statement, it works well

import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';

alongside this webpack.config.js file:

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  entry: './static/images/js/worker.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'worker.bundle.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'static/images/js'),
  },
  mode: 'production',
  target: 'webworker',
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            presets: ['@babel/preset-env'],
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.js'],
  },
};

However, it doesn't work with:

import { pipeline, AutoProcessor, Swin2SRForImageSuperResolution, RawImage } from '@huggingface/transformers';

I ran into the same issue, but I’ve figured out the solution!
Just add the following to your Webpack configuration file (or Next.js configuration in my case):

webpack(config, { isServer }) {
	config.resolve.alias['@huggingface/transformers'] = path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/@huggingface/transformers');
        .... 
	return config;
	}

It works like a charm now :)

The error happens only with version 3.0.0-alpha.10 or newer. 3.0.0-alpha.9 works fine for me. Was testing with webpack and in this env:

OS: Sonoma 14.6.1
Browser: Chrome
Node: v22.3.0

+1, @sebastien-lempens thanks for the solution!

This was the temporary solve for me. Since we are using Lerna with CRA, the webpack alias didn't fix things.

Not sure what happened between versions alpha 9 and 10, but that's where this issue starts showing up.

Any word on fix this issue in the most current version?

@jpcoder2 did you try this? Worked for me

Still the same as of ^3.0.0-alpha.19 but the @sebastien-lempens 's solution works for me.
