Unexpected token 'export'

This error happens on startup since version 6.1.0:

/project/dist/modules/foo/repository/FooBarRepository.d.ts:1
export default class FooBarRepository {
^^^^^^

Might it have to do with replacing glob by fast-glob ?

My project uses Typescript and I use loadModules to load classes:

container.loadModules([
  'modules/**/repository/!(*.spec|*.d|*.test).{js,ts}',
  'modules/**/service/!(*.spec|*.d|*.test).{js,ts}',
], {
  cwd: path.join(__dirname, '../'),
  formatName: 'camelCase',
  resolverOptions: {
    lifetime: awilix.Lifetime.SINGLETON,
    injectionMode: 'CLASSIC',
    register: awilix.asClass,
  },
});

Looks like you are trying to load es modules as if they are cjs?

What are you transpiling to? Are you using ts node? I don’t have much to go on.

[ksuewer]

I'm compiling with tsc.
With awilix 6.0.0 everything is fine.

[ksuewer]

Seems like the *.d.ts files are not excluded any more. Maybe the syntax changed.

[jeffijoe]

Its possible that fast-glob isn’t respecting that ignore pattern then. I haven’t had to add those myself though and I also use TypeScript.

[ksuewer]

Yes, seems like there are several problems with fast-glob ignore patterns like this issue which is close to my issue: mrmlnc/fast-glob#357
I fixed it meanwhile by limiting to js files only :)

[jeffijoe]

We will have to wait until the issue is fixed in fast-glob.

FYI the issue of fast-glob has been closed, but the release has not happened (although it was mentioned).
Maybe it is best to ping them
mrmlnc/fast-glob#357 (comment)
