SyntaxError: require() of ES Module (node 19.4 & npm 9.2) Follow

Created January 11, 2023 10:39

Hi, I have a problem compiling less since the update to the new version of node and npm (in order to take into account a new syntax).

Whenever I modify a less file, the compilation returns me the same problem.

How can I solve this problem on macosx ?

SyntaxError: require() of ES Module /Users/aureliengerits/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/globby/index.js from /Users/aureliengerits/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/lessc/node_modules/less/lib/less-node/plugin-loader.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/aureliengerits/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/lessc/node_modules/less/lib/less-node/plugin-loader.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. in /Users/aureliengerits/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/less-plugin-glob/index.js on line 1, column 15:

Hello!

I'm not sure how this can be fixed on the IDE end... The recent version of a globby package is a ESM module (see https://github.com/sindresorhus/globby/blob/main/package.json - it has "type": "module") so it can't be imported with require(). See also https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c. And lessc/node_modules/less/lib/less-node/plugin-loader.js tries to load it with require(), as far as I can check from the trace

Best regards,
Lena
