Summary

  • Resolves Node.js 17.5+ compatibility issue with JSON imports
  • Fixes ERR_IMPORT_ATTRIBUTE_MISSING error reported in Discord community
  • Restores full SDK functionality for users on Node.js 17.5+

Problem

The SDK was failing on Node.js 17.5+ with:

TypeError [ERR_IMPORT_ATTRIBUTE_MISSING]: Module needs an import attribute of "type: json"

This occurred because Node.js 17.5+ requires import attributes for JSON files:

  • import pkg from "./package.json" ❌ (fails)
  • import pkg from "./package.json" with { type: "json" } ✅ (works but version-specific)

Solution

Replaced direct JSON imports with the createRequire pattern for universal compatibility:

// Before (broken in Node.js 17.5+)
import pkg from "../package.json"

// After (works in all Node.js versions)
import { createRequire } from "module"
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url)
const pkg = require("../package.json")

Changes

  1. Core Fix: Updated src/index.ts to use createRequire pattern
  2. Version: Bumped to 1.1.2 to indicate the fix
  3. Testing: Added minimal test infrastructure with regression test
  4. CI/CD: Added GitHub Actions workflow for PR testing across Node.js versions
  5. Documentation: Added CLAUDE.md with project context

Testing

  • ✅ Tested on Node.js 18.x, 20.x, 22.x
  • ✅ Specific regression test for JSON import fix
  • ✅ CI workflow validates fix across multiple Node.js versions
  • ✅ Manual validation confirmed fix resolves the Discord issue

Breaking Changes

None - this is a compatibility fix with no API changes.
