Error running tests: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[eatrocks]

I get an error running the tests...
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Steps to reproduce:

• clone the repository
• cd into the project directory and run npm i
• run npm run test

I also get an error trying to do the following in Node, which I believe is possibly related...

• Using Node 18 LTS create a simple project and
• run "npm i comet-js-sdk"
• create a file with the "js" extension
• import the library like this... import comet from "comet-js-sdk"; or import { CometServer } from "comet-js-sdk";
• run the file with node
  The error is
  Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/path/to/my-project/node_modules/comet-js-sdk/dist/mjs/lib/output' imported from /path/to/my-project/node_modules/comet-js-sdk/dist/mjs/index.js

Thanks for raising this issue - both problems are caused by running in script mode instead of module mode.

I can confirm the issue with the Jest tests. To run the tests in module mode, try this (for Node 16 or 18):

NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules npm run test

For your test app, you can either

• (A) get node.js into Module mode by renaming your .js file to .mjs and running with the --experimental-vm-modules argument; or
• (B) embrace the classic script mode, and load the SDK with require instead of import, using the provided CommonJS instructions: const { CometServer } = require('comet-js-sdk')

Hope this helps - please let us know if you manage to resolve the issue,
