Michele Fiordispina : Hi! One of my workflows suddenly stopped working with TypeErrorObject prototype may only be an Object or null: undefined
I pinned down the issue and seems like it’s having trouble importing an npm library. Said library wasn’t updated recently and I can import it locally. Any help please?
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : would you mind sharing your workflow with dylan@pipedream.com?
Michele Fiordispina : sure
Michele Fiordispina : done
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : like you, I’m able to replicate in Pipedream but not replicate locally. Looking into it.
Michele Fiordispina : cheers
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : do you know when it last worked in your workflow?
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : i.e. how many days ago?
Michele Fiordispina : at least this morning around 11:30AM (UTC)
Michele Fiordispina : i just changed a thing on the $checkpoint var and stopped working ever since
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : try adding this at the very top of your workflow, before the require:
process.chdir = () => { console.log("process.chdir is not supported") }
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : for example: https://pipedream.com/@dylburger/tiktok-scraper-p_jmCv85p/edit
Michele Fiordispina : didn’t error but didn’t see the console.log either
Michele Fiordispina : i’ll try again
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : that’s fine, the console.log isn’t expected to run
Michele Fiordispina : i see
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : the require was failing because in our environment, process.chdir isn’t available. It also isn’t used in this particular package, but a dependency required it to be available. This just stubs it out with that “not implemented” message
Michele Fiordispina : script seems to be running
Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : great! If it’s working I think you’re good
Michele Fiordispina : ah, i see
