Missing data when running build when no compiler is imported (Cannot read property 'split' of undefined)

[JoshK2]

Describe the bug

I have a workspace with tracked components, and my compiler is configured in the bit config object, but not imported yet.
Then I run bit build and I expect that bit import the compiler first, and then build the components, but I get errors on data that the compiler not receive.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a workspace with one file.
2. init bit and track the file.
3. set the compiler in the config but not import it:

{
    "bit": {
        "env": {
            "compiler": "bit.envs/compilers/typescript@[version]"
        }
    }
}

1. run bit build

Specifications

• Bit version: 14.7.3
• Node version: 12.7.0
• Platform: macOS
• Bit compiler (include version): bit.envs/compilers/typescript@3.1.38

Temporary Solution

Import the compiler bit import COMPILER LINK before running the bit build command.
The disadvantage of this solution: if you have a special configuration in the rawConfig object, they will be removed when you import the compiler.
You can see a solution I wrote to keep the configuration after the import:

That works for the second time.
Only if the compiler is installed as part of the build it's not working. looks like a missing reloads for something after importing the compiler.

I am also experiencing this issue, but specifically mine only occurs when running in a circle-ci pipeline and works fine locally.

Any suggested work arounds for this issue?

I have just written a Temporary Solution in the opening comment.

Thanks @JoshK2 the solution above does work in our Circle-CI pipeline now.

This should be solved as part of the next major version - harmony

irrelevant for v15

We'll start rolling out v15 of Bit this week, please reach out to me privately on the public slack community for a sneak peek and getting early access to it.
