Can't get __dirname to work

[schadenn]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the plugin to use __dirname in my component src somewhere. I already dug quite deep into your code and found that the plugin looks for __dirname in my code and if it's there it puts a import __dirname from 'node-globals:dirname' at the top of the file.

Just how is this import from 'node-globals:dirname supposed to work (maybe if you explain, I can find the solution)?
There is no npm module called node-globals being installed.
So everytime I'm trying to use __dirname rollup just fails with:

"Could not load  node-globals:dirname (imported by
           [...]/DevPage.js): The argument 'path' must be a string
           or Uint8Array without null bytes. Received '\u0000node-globals:dirname'"

Also not quite sure why there is a \0 character in front of the DIRNAME path in your code.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same exact issue

Null byte (\0) is really in these lines. It was introduced in #3 .

@kuraga See: rollup/rollup#2881
It doesn't polyfill __dirname though currently.

I'm not sure what your usecase is. Mine was to do some node fs operations during runtime which turned out to not being a very good idea in the first place. If you've got a valid use-case maybe raise an issue over at rollup-plugin-node-polyfills.

@schadenn , thanks!

It supports, doesn't it?

My usecase is using _dirname by a (development) dependency of my project.

@kuraga Oh okay, yeah might be that it supports it. I didn't see it being listed in the Readme and did no further investigation.
In that case I wish you good luck trying that plugin :)
