FormData import not working

[jdalrymple]

Summary

The export of the FormData library seems to cause a problem when in combination of the latest rollup release.

• import FromData from 'form-data' doesnt work "form_data_1.default is not a constructor"
• import * as FormData from 'form-data' doesnt work since the bundled output isnt of type constructor (its of type object)
• import FormData = require('form-data') doesnt work since require isnt supported in es modules
• const FormData = require('form-data') doesnt work because require isnt supported in the browser.

I havent received any applicable feedback form-data/form-data/issues/470, form-data/form-data/issues/441

Possible solutions

• this may help if it ever gets merged. Not sure how to go about fixing this :/
• downgrade rollup to before 2.26, though this will only work short term
• 🤢 fork form-data

This is blocking everything in the pipeline. For now, ill downgrade rollup to before 2.26 to see if that helps, and come back to this proper afterward

Still tackling this. Latest work includes:

1. Fixing related typing that was causing an issue
2. Debugging FormData imports. This lead to me switching to formdata-node but im still having issues. Currently the blocker is:

Error: 'default' is not exported by node_modules/formdata-node/lib/FormData.js, imported by src/index.ts

using a test repo:

src/index.ts

import FormDataI from 'formdata-node'

const c = new FormDataI()

export { c }

with a rollup config of :

import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve';
import commonjs from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs';
import json from '@rollup/plugin-json';
import nodePolyfills from 'rollup-plugin-node-polyfills';
import globals from 'rollup-plugin-node-globals';
import pkg from './package.json';
import ts from 'rollup-plugin-typescript2';
import typescript from 'typescript';


export default [
  {
    input: 'src/index.ts',
    output: {
      file: 'dist/out.js',
      name: 'gitbeaker',
      format: 'umd',
      // exports: 'named',
    },
    plugins: [globals(), nodePolyfills(), json(), ts({ typescript, useTsconfigDeclarationDir: true }), resolve(), commonjs()],
  },
];

Still trying to figure out how to fix this sigh

Got everything to compile properly again! Just fixing up the unit tests now.

Still running into an issue with the integration tests. Gonna go back to the drawing board and debug step by step
