When using 2.43.1 version of sveltejs/kit, I've got an internal runtime error.

[kykim108-pixel]

Describe the bug

When using 2.43.1 version of sveltejs/kit, I've got an internal runtime error like the follwing :

file:///opt/app/hippo2/server/chunks/event-Dgq6E1HB.js:8
throw new Error("Could not get the request store. This is an internal error.");
^

Error: Could not get the request store. This is an internal error.

at async Server.init (file:///opt/app/hippo2/server/index.js:5052:5)
at async file:///opt/app/hippo2/handler.js:1214:1

I haven't got this internal error when using lower versions(ex. 2.42.2 version) of seltejs/kit.

Depending on where it's called this might be correct - check the linked issue for details
If you think it's still an error we need a proper reproduction.
Either way we need to enhance that error message, it's misleading if someone calls it in the wrong spot

[mihaipoenaru]

Well this is a weird one. I have the same error. Downgrading to an earlier version solves it, but I tried to dig into what was causing it. It was a painful process of deleting the entire project and restoring files bit by bit until I could reproduce it.

The culprit in my case was the resolve function from $app/paths. If I called it from my layout.svelte like <div>{resolve('blabla')}</div> it works, but if I have an utils file somewhere, and in that file i have export const repro = () => resolve('blabla'), and i try to use repro in the layout instead of calling resolve directly, it crashes with the error in the issue. Even simply importing resolve in the utils file and not using it anywhere causes this crash.

I tried to make a repro for the past 2 hours and it drove me insane. A fresh project with sv create doesn't have this issue, no matter how I try to mimic my structure, and it's not like I can share my work project on git.

Best I can do is give you the version of kit this error occurs, which is 2.42.2 where it works fine. On 2.43.0 and onwards, it breaks. Although I can just replace resolve with base, which is deprecated, so not the most elegant workaround, but it works.

@kykim108-pixel do you use resolve too? does replacing it with base fix anything?

@dummdidumm hopefully this will point you in the right direction. Or maybe this isn't even the same issue, maybe I should have started a new one...

[kykim108-pixel]

resolve() is used in 50 or more *.svelte and *.ts files on my project.
So, replacing it with base is a big issue to me.

No remote functions are used.

[mihaipoenaru]

Oof, that's not ideal. I'm still curious if this may be a legitimate problem. Do you have like a simple index page that's not nested in several layers of layouts? Try to make a basic empty index page at the root of your project, (temporarily delete your root layout if it still doesn't work). Then put a div where you call resolve directly. That should work. After that, make a random ts file somewhere in lib, where you make a function that only calls resolve, and then call THAT function in your page. If it crashes, then that's the issue.

Doesn't solve the issue for you unfortunately, but it may help it be narrowed down at least.

[kykim108-pixel]

OK, I'll try and check it out with a sample project.

[mihaipoenaru]

If it's a sample project it may not work. I tried with a fresh one, tried to make the same conditions happen, but it worked smoothly. Ideally you should try and make it on your own project when you have time. But hopefully I've given @dummdidumm enough to at least know where to look.

[sukeshpabolu]

In my case the culprit was asset from $app/paths, replacing it with assets fixed the issue.

[polyzen]

Reverting back to base from resolve() worked to fixed the build here.

A git bisect pointed to f3b5bfb as the introduction of my issue.

[mihaipoenaru]

@dummdidumm can we get a confirmation that anyone is looking into this? It basically stops me from using anything from 2.43 onwards.

[dummdidumm]

I can see how this fails when called outside load functions/handle/render phase (because event store does not exist there) but not how it can happen when called indirectly. I really need a reproduction.
If you say it does not work in your project but works on a fresh project - are you sure you're on the latest version of SvelteKit? There was a fix related to this.

Node.js documentation says :

new AsyncLocalStorage([options])
options
defaultValue The default value to be used when no store is provided.
name A name for the AsyncLocalStorage value.
Creates a new instance of AsyncLocalStorage. Store is only provided within a run() call or after an enterWith() call.

asyncLocalStorage.getStore()
Returns:
Returns the current store. If called outside of an asynchronous context initialized by calling asyncLocalStorage.run() or asyncLocalStorage.enterWith(), it returns undefined.

Here is the reproduction. This may work in webcontainer but not in local nodejs.

assets from $app/paths will work but asset won't work.

Thanks

[mihaipoenaru]

are you sure you're on the latest version of SvelteKit? There was a fix related to this.

Yes, here's my npm list for everything I use just for reference. As soon as i use resolve instead of base it crashes.
