Search Terms

There's a similiar issue, #922. However it is closed and the suggested solutions don't work for me.

Expected Behavior

No error. I've confirmed this is a bug. When I change the dependency:

"com.matheusdiasdesouzads.js.language-objects": "^1.0.0"

to...

"com.matheusdiasdesouzads.js.language-objects": "file:../language-objects-js"

I don't get SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module anymore.

Actual Behavior

I'm getting:

my-outer-package\node_modules\com.matheusdiasdesouzads.js.language-objects\src\index.ts:1
import Language, {Direction} from './language';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Steps to reproduce the problem

Minimal reproduction
