as-wasi fails to build with v0.20.0

[ColinEberhardt]

This feels related to #2230 but is a little different ...

With node v16.14.2, I follow the getting started instructions, and am able to successfully build the simple example.

Following that I ...

npm i as-wasi

and change the code to ...

import "wasi"

import {Console} from "as-wasi"
Console.log("Hello World!\n");

The build now fails as follows:

% npm run asbuild

> as@1.0.0 asbuild
> npm run asbuild:debug && npm run asbuild:release


> as@1.0.0 asbuild:debug
> asc assembly/index.ts --target debug

ERROR TS6054: File '~lib/as-wasi.ts' not found.

 import {Console} from "as-wasi"
                       ~~~~~~~~~

Rolling back to AS v0.19.x fixes the issue

[dcodeIO]

New usage in 0.20 is: import {Console} from "as-wasi/assembly"

There is some background in the release notes. TL;DR is that assuming ./assembly/index.ts respectively following ascMain in package.json is not compatible with TS tooling respectively Node leading to all sorts of issues, so it was removed.

(also note that using as-wasi for console.log is no longer necessary as stdlib implements it already when import "wasi" is given)
