feat(@parcel/transformer-js): Rewrite `dirname`/`filename` to be relative to `asset.filePath` #7727

LekoArts · 2022-02-17T10:10:12Z

↪️ Pull Request

This adds a way of accomplishing #7611 - this functionality will be enabled by default in node environment.

💻 Examples

See linked issue, but TL;DR is:

Some code in e.g. <root>/index.ts has a ${__dirname}/data string in it.
When it'll be compiled to e.g. <root>/dist the path should be changed to:

const path = require("path")
const dirname = path.resolve(__dirname, "..")
return `${dirname}/data`

🚨 Test instructions

I've added a test to the integration tests, it has to have the node env (so e.g. engines: node key).

Looks good overall!

IMO relativeContext doesn't really convey that this is about __dirname and __filename 🤷‍♂️

There's a similar existing test here:

parcel/packages/core/integration-tests/test/javascript.js

Line 2646 in 47379bf

it('should insert global variables when needed', async function () {

So duplicate that and add a package.json with that new config option, then you can delete the example you've committed.

Regarding the path import: this is similar to how an import for buffer is added for the Buffer global, that is done here:

parcel/packages/transformers/js/core/src/global_replacer.rs

Line 82 in 47379bf

"Buffer" => {

LekoArts · 2022-02-23T14:10:03Z

Ok, so I pushed some more changes to the Rust code and I have two problems now:

Actually the generated relative path is incorrect
I'm not seeing my changes in the tests

Let me explain.

When we have a source file at <root>/index.ts and we compile to <root>/dist/index.js we would expect that the relative path to the projectRoot is "..".
But it isn't.

Here is the relevant line: https://github.com/LekoArts/parcel/blob/eca555e83e8ba3ac7ad0eded8dd9c0723a21713e/packages/transformers/js/core/src/global_replacer.rs#L144

dirname here is the path of the <root>/index.ts file, which is identical with projectRoot. So the relative path created will be "" and not "..".

How can I get the distDir here to construct a correct relative path?

I'm not seeing my Rust code changes in the tests. I think I've added the test and the new option correctly, but when I print out the js (currently commented out) I'm not seeing the changes I did when I still had the example project in packages/examples.

LekoArts · 2022-02-28T13:16:13Z

Let me know @mischnic if my above questions/comments make sense and you can help me? Appreciate it a lot! Thanks

mischnic · 2022-02-28T14:34:43Z

How can I get the distDir here to construct a correct relative path?

The transformer doesn't know the final path of the bundle that the asset will be put into. This is only known after bundling/packaging (https://parceljs.org/plugin-system/overview/), so you have to do the path.relative(root, bundle.filePath) computation and insertion in a packager (so @parcel/packager-js).

I don't know why the changes wouldn't show up in the tests (apart from forgetting to recompile the Rust code), so I guess it has to be that your change doesn't modify the behaviour somehow.

LekoArts · 2022-02-28T15:17:19Z

Ok, thanks for that information. I'll look into the tests, I probably made an error somewhere.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how to go about this then. Do I need to keep the changes I made to the transformer so far and add some "identifier" so that later the packager can modify/replace things, or do I completely remove the Rust logic and make all my changes in the packager? From my understand I'd need both, so that in the transformer I actually replace the call and then the packager can change the import path?

mischnic · 2022-02-28T15:22:51Z

Exactly. The logic to determine whether __dirname wasn't declared as a local variable definitely needs to happen in the transformer.

Then in the packager, one possibility would be replacing that placeholder literally or (though somewhat sketchy) do the same as $parcel$global and just assume that this variable is unused by the user and emit it in the transformer, and then prepend a variable declaration in the packager. Though in this case you probably need one variable per asset

parcel/packages/transformers/js/core/src/hoist.rs

Line 835 in 13649c3

return Ident::new("$parcel$global".into(), node.span);

LekoArts · 2022-03-14T09:45:00Z

Ok, I was sick 🤧 for a bit, I'll start working on this again now

LekoArts · 2022-03-18T12:42:37Z

Ok, so I got it working in my example (currently still committed in this PR) in how I expect it:

But I'll remove the example and add tests.

The API and naming etc. is pretty gross and I'm also still using same placeholder everywhere, not per asset.

So it works, but still lot to do.

@mischnic

LekoArts · 2022-04-07T06:21:37Z

Thanks! Will look into it and add a test

LekoArts · 2022-04-07T08:08:24Z

Good catch @mischnic 👍

The issue was that I've used pathdiff::diff_paths for __filename where I didn't need to use it. It just worked in the past but it seems with /folder-name/index.js it doesn't give back index.js but /folder-name/index.js.

Looks good to me!

LekoArts · 2022-04-08T07:06:32Z

Awesome 🎉 I'll let you re-run the CI, otherwise with my commit trigger I'd invalidate your review

+            ),
+          );
+          wrapped = wrapped.replace('$parcel$dirnameReplace', relPath);
+          wrapped = wrapped.replace('$parcel$filenameReplace', relPath);


Is there a reason we have two different variables that get replaced with the same path? Were these meant to be different, or do we only need one of them?

+
+          *self.has_node_replacements = true;
+        }
+        "__dirname" => {


Some of this could probably be combined with the above but ok for now

devongovett

Looks good overall! Thanks again!

LekoArts · 2022-04-08T17:29:02Z

I will optimize this (i.e. address the two new review comments) in a follow-up PR -- I'd like to get this into a nightly release so that we can try it out at Gatsby :)

LekoArts · 2022-04-11T11:58:35Z

I think you'll need to re-run a bunch of times for the flaky tests 😅

LekoArts · 2022-04-11T13:53:26Z

With #7931 merged I guess I need to change some ast::Lit::Str occurrences. I'll do this in a bit

mischnic · 2022-04-11T13:57:14Z

Sorry, I forgot that merging it would break this PR 😬

mischnic · 2022-04-11T14:27:26Z

Looks like it compiles, the only breaking change from the swc update was related to :ast:Number. And these changes from ast::Str{} to .into() are just using a shorter syntax and are equivalent. So we can clean that up later.

LekoArts · 2022-04-11T15:22:58Z

Awesome. I'll do that in the follow-up PR. Thanks for merging and help on the PR <3

LekoArts · 2022-04-12T06:50:52Z

The nightly release that would include this failed here: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/actions/runs/2151865409
