Faker import issue with Ember

[mtrynoha]

Hi!
I'm trying to use @faker-js/faker in my Ember app but encountering an issue.
Node version: 14
Ember CLI: 3.14
Faker: 8.4

In tests it runs perfectly and generates data as expected, however when I start the server locally (emebr serve), I'm getting this error in the web console:
loader.js:247 Uncaught Error: Could not find module @faker-js/fakerimported fromember-frontend/tests/factories/user``

Here is the code of ember-frontend/tests/factories/user:

import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy';
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';

FactoryGuy.define('user', {
  default: {
    email: faker.internet.email(),
    firstName: faker.person.firstName(),
    lastName: faker.person.lastName(),
  }
});

I've ensured @faker-js/faker is installed as a dev dependency and tried various configuration adjustments without success. Any piece of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Have you tried using faker as normal dependency temporarily?

If you use it at runtime you have to use it as dependency vs if you only need it during development/tests then you need it as a dev dependency.

Is our documentation confusing in that regard?

Thanks for response.
Yes, I did try using it as normal dependency, but the result remains the same.
I don't use it at runtime, all the files that import faker are under tests directory.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with ember so I'm unsure on how to help.

The closest I could guess is this article:
https://guides.emberjs.com/release/addons-and-dependencies/
I'm pretty sure you have seen it already, but I post it just in case.
