Cannot find name 'WeakRef' / Property 'deref' does not exist on type 'object'

[maxxturing]

1. Backend code has not changed since 2 Jun 2021 - everything has been fine

2. Ran command to run backend locally today (9 Jun 2021)

deno run --allow-net --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write --unstable --reload app.ts

3. Runs successfully
   

4. After a few seconds it breaks and multiple errors are outputted

Cannot find name 'WeakRef'
Property 'deref' does not exist on type 'object'

📣 Friendly deno users - Any ideas as to what the issue is here? 🤔

[kt3k]

@maxxturing The type declaration of WeakRef was added at deno v1.5.0 ref: https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/main/Releases.md#150--20201027 You need to upgrade at least to v1.5.0 to type check WeakRefs. Is that possible for your case?

[MierenManz]

if possible, try to upgrade to the latest version. It has loads and loads of improvements

[kt3k]

If upgrade is difficult, the options might be:

• use --no-check option to avoid type error (WeakRef exists in runtime even in v1.3.x, only typing is missing)
• provides type declaration manually (copy the contents of cli/dts/lib.esnext.weakref.d.ts and include it by /// <reference /> directive
• pin std/testing version to <= 0.97.0 (you need to detect which dependency uses std/testing in your tree to do this)

But upgrading is probably the most recommended way to address the issue...

[maxxturing]

Using --no-check still threw an error so I used deno upgrade to upgrade to deno 1.11.0 (release, x86_64-apple-darwin)

I'm now getting 16 errors:

Any idea how to solve these?

[lucacasonato]

Type re exports require that you use export type {} from "...";.

[Soremwar]

You need to
1 - Resolve your isolatedModules related errors, as suggested by Luca
2 - Update all your modules to use a recent version of Deno, directly or somewhere deep in your imports you are using std version 0.61.0

The problems you are likely to encounter from this upgrade (all but the ones introduced in 1.5.0) can be sorted out by just running --no-check on your code. The only ones that can't be ignore are the ones related to isolatedModules

If you can share what your error with --no-check was, that would also help

[kitsonk]

You can use deno info to print out a dependency tree to see what is requiring what.

[maxxturing]

Thanks @lucacasonato @Soremwar @kitsonk! I edited the deps.ts file and I've managed to fix the export type errors.

[kt3k]

Seems like you upgraded multiparser from v1 to v2? How about changing form?.["blob"] -> form?.files["blob"] and form?.["filename"] -> form?.fields["filename"]?

Thanks @kt3k - that removes the errors when running the code and allows the backend to run, but when manually testing the uploading, the same upload errors occur:

Yeah, there were breaking changes in oak v7, and .serverRequest is no longer exposed, probably should never have been exposed. Whatever upload-pdf and upload-image were doing with request.serverRequest needs to change.

The key parts are:

const imageWriteResponse = await writePdfToFileSystem(
      context.request.serverRequest,
      recordId
    );

And:

const writePdfToFileSystem = async (
  serverRequest: ServerRequest,
  recordId: string
) => {
  try {
    emptyDirSync(`./pics/${recordId}/`);
    const form = await multiParser(serverRequest);
    const pdfBlob = isFormFile(form?.files["blob"]) ? form?.files["blob"] : undefined;
    const fileName = form?.fields["filename"] as string | undefined;
    console.log(`📁 Uploading PDF. Size: ${pdfBlob?.size}`);
    if (pdfBlob && pdfBlob.content) {
      const filePath = generatePdfFilePath(recordId);
      Deno.writeFileSync(filePath, pdfBlob.content);
      return { success: true, newFilePath: filePath, fileName };
    } else throw new Error("Writing PDF did not succeed");
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("📁 ❌ " + error.message);
    return { success: false, newFilePath: "", fileName: "" };
  }
};

The purpose of the code is to upload a PDF.

Any tips?

I found someone on Fiverr who helped me with the last stretch of code changes and we managed to fix it all! We had to import FormFile and change some of the nomenclature

So we're now running Deno 1.11.0 and everything works! 😍

Thank you for the advice and tips @kitsonk @kt3k @Soremwar @lucacasonato @MierenManz

Your help was much appreciated and super useful! Wanted to make sure you knew that. Thank you! ✨ 🙌 🦕
