@types/node not recognised anymore after PnP loader mjs install
I have recently discovered Yarn 3 and so far I was quite happy with the PnP features. Since I mainly work with monorepos, I wanted to make use of Yarn workspaces. Unfortunately, I cannot get basic things to work. I have set up a test project to highlight the problem.
Setup & Configuration
[1] The project has the following structure
monorepo/
.env
- frontend/
- app/
- src/
- tools/
- scripts/
- src/
- script.ts
[2] I then initialise the project by running
yarn set version berry
yarn init
[3] followed by installing the basic packages to get my script running
yarn add -D typescript ts-node @types/node dotenv
yarn plugin import typescript
I have also initialised the scripts package in the scripts/
folder, running yarn init
.
[4] I then added my workspaces to the freshly created package.json
// package.json
{
"name": "monorepo",
"packageManager": "yarn@3.2.0",
"devDependencies": {
"@types/node": "^17.0.22",
"dotenv": "^16.0.0",
"ts-node": "^10.7.0",
"typescript": "^4.6.2"
},
"workspaces": [
"frontend/*",
"tools/*"
],
}
[4] I run
yarn install
yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks vscode
to create the workspace and install the VSCode SDK to get Typescript support for my IDE.
So far so good, I can print the workspace list and everything seems to be set up right. In my script.ts
file however, I want to read a constant from the .env
file
// script.ts
import "dotenv/config";
const script = () => {
const getEnv = process.env.SCRIPT;
console.log(getEnv);
};
script();
and I can run
yarn ts-node tools/scripts/script.ts
>> Hello script
without problem.
The problem
Since I need the package @graphql-codegen/cli
later on as a dependency I have installed this via
yarn workspace scripts add @graphql-codegen/cli
which adds a .pnp.loader.mjs
to the root folder. This is not a problem as long as I don't have a tsconfig.json
inside the scripts/
folder! Once I do that I get the error
Cannot find name 'process'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/node`.
in the script.ts
file. If I add "types": ["node"]
to the compiler options in the tsconfig, I get
Can't get definition file for 'node'.
I have looked at several posts but I cannot get this working. Why in the first place .pnp.loader.mjs
gets installed? It seems like it's still experimental (considering the Yarn output:
ESM support for PnP uses the experimental loader API and is therefore experimental
This is driving me crazy, any suggestions? Thanks! 🙌
