TypeError: net.createConnection is not a function

[Miniontoby]

Hi,

I just started using this plugin.

I get this error:

TypeError: net.createConnection is not a function

Whenever I look at what the import('net') contains, then it doesn't seem to have anything at all...

Please let me know if I do something wrong!

Hey @Miniontoby. Would you mind adding a reproducible example via Stackblitz or similar? Without it, it's hard for me to debug the problem.

[Miniontoby]

Uhmm, just install discord-rpc npm package and then (try to) use it inside vite.

import { Client } from 'discord-rpc';

const clientId = '700889110440837220';

const rpc = new Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

rpc.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error);

Did this get fixed? I'm having a similar problem.

@RandomGuyInLife I unfortunately can't dedicate time toward issues without functional reproducible examples. If you're running into a similar error and can provide one, then I can take a look. Based on the error above though, this might just be a case where you need to find a good polyfill override and use the overrides config option.

I'm having trouble with the http module. Is there a good override for that?

I'm having the same issue, but I was able to follow the traces:

toggl-api.js?v=e61b10cc:84215 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'createConnection')
    at node_modules/forever-agent/index.js (toggl-api.js?v=e61b10cc:84215:51)

the forever-agent/index uses an require_empty() method
which looks like is being provided by node-stdlib-browser:

// node_modules/node-stdlib-browser/cjs/mock/empty.js
var require_empty = __commonJS({
  "node_modules/node-stdlib-browser/cjs/mock/empty.js"(exports2, module2) {
    "use strict";
    var import_dist = __toESM(require_dist());
    var import_dist2 = __toESM(require_dist2());
    var import_dist3 = __toESM(require_dist3());
    var empty = null;
    module2.exports = empty;
  }
});

I tried overriding the https and http but no luck.,. This is the repo @ the commit with the issue

But I do have the webpack equivalent of a working example, I tried adding the alias too...

Ok,
so trying to emulate all my webpack configure, what made it work was to EXCLUDE the 'net' module.
It is working now, this is my config

nodePolyfills({
    exclude: ['net'],
    overrides: {
      stream: 'stream-browserify',
      https: "https-browserify",
      http: "stream-http",
      util: "util/",
      url: "url/",
      buffer: "buffer/",
    },
  })
