Probably caused by the use of fs and path here: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/security-vocab/blob/main/js/index.js

It would be wiser to use require, or import instead of fs.

This prevents these libraries from working in environments where the fs / modules may not be accessible, such as cloud functions on vercel / next.js or React Native....

In turn this error causes failures in any other dependencies that rely of security context.

My hope was to use digital bazaar libraries here: https://github.com/transmute-industries/api.did.actor/tree/main/vc-api/facade

So we could test did key and vc based interop with a toggle for selecting the vendor, but I cannot get the db libraries to run on vercel...

here is our solution to the same issue:

https://github.com/transmute-industries/verifiable-data/blob/main/packages/security-context/index.js#L4

we use require, and .json instead of .jsonld.

It would be wiser to use require, or import instead of fs.

+1, this is why I had to create a fork of this lib here: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/security-context
