Nathan Roest : Hello all,

I keep getting this error message when trying to upload any files into Google Drive,
Has anyone run into this and have a solution to fixing it?

Thanks!

ErrorMust use import to load ES Module: /opt/ee/node_modules/got/dist/source/index.js require() of ES modules is not supported. require() of /opt/ee/node_modules/got/dist/source/index.js from /opt/ee/c_W3fz1Pl/index.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains “type”: “module” which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules. Instead rename /opt/ee/node_modules/got/dist/source/index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove “type”: “module” from /opt/ee/node_modules/got/package.json.

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : anywhere you see this line in your workflow:

const got = require("got")

could you replace it with

const { got } = await import("got")

We pull in the newest version of npm packages when you deploy a workflow, and the newest version of got changed the way you have to import it for use in your code.
