Problem

pkgroll 2.8.2 worked fine, but since 2.10.0, and still on 2.11.0; we're seeing the following error:

• Bump pkgroll from 2.8.2 to 2.10.0 jehna/humanify#322 (comment)
• Bump pkgroll from 2.8.2 to 2.11.0 jehna/humanify#343 (comment)

Node.js v22.6.0

Looking at the code in /Users/devalias/dev/tmp/humanify/dist/index.mjs:1374:18:

// ..snip..
/* 1373 */ const import_meta = {};
/* 1374 */ const require2 = createRequire(import_meta.url);
/* 1375 */ const __filename = fileURLToPath(import_meta.url);
/* 1376 */ dirname(__filename);
/* 1377 */ var __create = Object.create;
/* 1378 */ var __defProp2 = Object.defineProperty;
/* 1379 */ var __getOwnPropDesc = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor;
/* 1380 */ var __getOwnPropNames = Object.getOwnPropertyNames;
/* 1381 */ var __getProtoOf = Object.getPrototypeOf;
/* 1382 */ var __hasOwnProp2 = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty;
// ..snip..

So it seems the error is because import_meta.url is undefined.

Looking at /Users/devalias/dev/tmp/humanify/node_modules/prettier/index.mjs, we can more or less match up those lines:

import { createRequire as __prettierCreateRequire } from "module";
import { fileURLToPath as __prettierFileUrlToPath } from "url";
import { dirname as __prettierDirname } from "path";
const require = __prettierCreateRequire(import.meta.url);
const __filename = __prettierFileUrlToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = __prettierDirname(__filename);

var __create = Object.create;
var __defProp = Object.defineProperty;
var __getOwnPropDesc = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor;
var __getOwnPropNames = Object.getOwnPropertyNames;
var __getProtoOf = Object.getPrototypeOf;
var __hasOwnProp = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty;

But we can see that import.meta.url is left as-is in the prettier .mjs; whereas it's being transpiled in our version for some reason.
