What happened?

So i freshly installed grafana in docker, everything is setup newly fresh and configs are set default (only plugin folder locaiton in grafana.ini is uncommented).
Creation of new plugin throught npx is okay i runned yarn install and everythings seems fine. But when i use yarn build / dev
Yarn newly throws this error.
I didnt touch any configuration of this plugin, everything is freshly installed.
(This plugin is named test, also tested other names, not the issue.)

warning package.json: "test" is also the name of a node core module

Hi @Depcos - this is due to an issue in @swc/core release 1.3.76. We recommend downgrading to "@swc/core": "1.3.75", in package.json whilst we wait for the fix to be released - swc-project/swc-node#721

[ez-leka]

in my package.json :

"@swc/core": "^1.3.62"

but I see exactly the same error. setting it to 1.3.75 - no effect. Please help

[academo]

Hi @ez-leka keep in mind that you need to set "@swc/core": "1.3.75" (notice the removal of the ^ symbol) and run npm install later to see this issue fixed. Or you can do it all in a single command without having to modify any file yourself by running npm install -E @swc/core@1.3.75 (notice -E to install the exact version)

I recently released a version of create-plugin #346 that doesn't generate plugins with this error.

Hi!

whilst we wait for the fix to be released - swc-project/swc-node#721

I think that fix got released, but I still get the same error in our plugin with swc-core 1.3.90.

The swc maintainers recently updated the error message to

base_dir(src) must be absolute. Please ensure that jsc.baseUrl is specified correctly. This cannot be deduced by SWC itself because SWC is a transpiler and it does not try to resolve project details. In other works, SWC does not know which directory should be used as a base directory. It can be deduced if .swcrc is used, but if not, there are many candidates. e.g. the directory containing package.json, or the current working directory. Because of that, the caller (typically the developer of the JavaScript package) should specify it. If you see this error, please report an issue to the package author.

IMO that suggests that we should fix this in our webpack config. And I could fix it in our plugin by using baseUrl: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),.

@mikkancso you should be using the fixed version 1.3.75 which is the one defined in create-plugin. We have no control over the swc-core library. 1.3.90 is exactly the problematic version. Newer version might have a fix we haven't yet tested. can you try to upgrade to the latest version and see if this problem still happens?

@academo I think that's what @mikkancso has done

[mikkancso]

@academo I have tried updating our plugin to 1.3.90, and I still get the same error, even though the bugfix in the swc project you have linked (swc-project/swc-node#721) is already merged and released in 1.3.90.

So I tried to fix this problem in our plugin, which you can check out here: https://github.com/grafana/cloud-onboarding/pull/5065 (yes, it does work)
But we decided against merging the fix in the plugin, as we believe this should be fixed in this repo, hence my PR in this repo: #424 . Could you please take a look at this PR?

Hiya, this seems to have broken again with the release of "@swc/core": "1.3.95" which just got picked up in a Renovate PR.
I've implemented your fix in the PR you posted @mikkancso as a workaround for now 👍
