TypeError: Cannot redefine property: when shimming

[anuraaga]

From aws-observability/aws-otel-lambda#99

It seems that based on certain build systems like esbuild it's possible to create a bundle which doesn't work well with shimmer. Is this something that can be worked around or is inevitable and a symptom of these build systems making the result closer to a type-safe language than a dynamic one?

[vmarchaud]

Looking at the code (https://github.com/othiym23/shimmer/blob/master/index.js#L14), it seems the object is enumerable but not updatable. I think this is a case that should be handled by shimmer but that surely means that instrumentation would not work.

This is still an ongoing issue, which has been mentioned in multiple places.
evanw/esbuild#2199

aws-observability/aws-otel-lambda#97

This is a big problem when using aws cdk constructs which use esbuild to transpile to commonjs.
