Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'stream'

[dabit1]

Hi guys,

Inside of a service worker I import openpgp thorugh this.importScripts('/openpgp.min.js');. However when the service worker initiates it throws an error: Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'stream'

• Create-react-app
• Chrome 78

Does anybody know why it happens?
Thanks

Could you provide code snippets? There is a worker implemented in the library, openpgp.worker.js has you tried to use it? It could be related to #1001, #896

OpenPGP.js only does require('stream') if it thinks that it's in Node.js. Could you, in the browser console of your Service Worker, type process and see whether that object exists? Maybe your build process is polyfilling it for some reason, making OpenPGP.js believe that it's in Node.js.

Hi 👋 We've made a prerelease of v5: https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/releases/tag/v5.0.0-0
We now have browser-specific and Node-specific builds, and the browser build no longer ever tries to require('stream'). You can grab a build here: http://unpkg.com/openpgp/dist/
Let me know if this works for you 😊
