TypeError: can't access property "document", this is undefined

[supermodo]

Hi everyone, I like a lot the Snowpack concept and I'm just start trying to migrate from Webpack to Snowpack a Typescript Reactjs installation with React-plotly and I get this error on runtime

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "document", this is undefined

this is the culpable 26076 line

var d3_document = this.document;

I'm not sure if is just a configuration problem or something more deep. Maybe is trying to refer to the DOM and it can't find it.
Any suggestion?

Interesting! I can't help with individual packages, but most likely something is happening in that package that breaks non-Webpack bundling. Snowpack is using Rollup internally to prepare your package, and it sounds like that's where the issue is coming from.

I'd recommend reaching out to that project, and seeing if they'd be interested in fixing so that all Rollup, Snowpack, Vite, etc. projects can work with their package.

@FredKSchott thank you for the answer, I've open an issue on React-plotly repository, hoping they can help me.
I'll let you know if I solve it.

@supermodo did you ever found a workaround for this problem?

[supermodo]

@nojaf No, I'm sorry. I've rolled back to webpack as unfortunately I do not have so much time at the moment.

[nojaf]

Yeah, had to do the same thing, unfortunately.
