Imported modules are undefined if also used inside loader #17130

I'm writing custom loader for esm modules and encountered problem.

  1. Inside loader I import module A
  2. I use loader to load module B which also uses module A.
  3. Path to module A is correctly resolved
  4. In loader module A is correctly loaded but in B its value is undefined.
  5. Removing module A from loader "fixes" problem.

I bypass problem by keeping track of what modules are used in loader and when one of them is requested I use dynamicInstantiate hook.

Minimal code for issue looks like this:

loader.mjs

import express from 'express'; // same module

export async function resolve(specifier, parentModuleURL, defaultResolver) {
  return defaultResolver(specifier, parentModuleURL);
}

issue.mjs

import express from 'express'; // same module
import assert from 'assert';

assert(express);

command

node --experimental-modules --loader ./loader.mjs ./issue.mjs

expected

(node:8534) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.

actual

(node:8534) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.
