SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
0
👍
0Hello 👋
I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to use this within my local github action. I'm defaulting to the default environment for the action so I'm not compiling/transpiling. I was surprised when I saw this error since it's within the node_module directory. I know github actions default to node 12. I'm wondering why it isn't picking up the compiled/transpiled code? I'm not sure if this is isolated to this repo or to all my node_modules. I'm still investigating.
// <repo>/package.json
{
...
"dependencies": {
...
"to-semver": "^4.0.0"
}
}// <repo>/actions/contentful-action/src/action.js
const toSemver = require('to-semver')// github action error
/home/runner/work/<repo>/node_modules/to-semver/index.js:1
import semver from 'semver';
^^^^^^
