[Bug]Could not resolve "__temporal_custom_payload_converter"

[tiagomendonc]

What are you really trying to do?

I'm trying to add a worker to my application so I can use workflows

Describe the bug

Everytime that I try to build my application, it says that some requirements can not be found.

Minimal Reproduction

Environment/Versions

• OS and processor: M2 Mac
• Temporal Version: ˆ1.8.6
• Are you using Docker or Kubernetes or building Temporal from source? No

It looks like you are trying to bundle the @temporalio/worker and @temporalio/workflow packages. This is not supported.

If you really need to bundle your Temporal Worker’s code, you will need to configure your bundler to keep the following packages as external:

@temporalio/worker
@temporalio/workflow
@temporalio/core-bridge
@temporalio/common
@temporalio/worker
@temporalio/proto

You will also need to pre-bundle your workflow code, e.g. by using bundleWorkflowCode() from your building script. See this sample. The file containing your Workflow Bundle’s code will also need to be marked as external.

@mjameswh help me with a development issue than, without the worker, I can create and start a workflow execution, but I believe that without a worker, it will not be finished, since that my workflow do not complete, is aways in Running status. Is this right?

[nubunto]

it will not be finished

Exactly, it won't. The workflow is registered as started in Temporal Server, but if you don't have a worker listening on the task queue with the correct workflow definition, then it won't never advance.

[tiagomendonc]

Got it. Still, I can't build my app with workers. What exactly should I do?

[tiagomendonc]

Just to be more clear, I start my workflow client and than start the worker like this: const worker = await Worker.create({ workflowsPath: require.resolve("./workflow"), taskQueue: "default", activities, });

@tiagomendonc At this point, I really can't tell anything more that what I said previously. Can you please give more details? Why and how are you bundling the Worker itself?
