Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSourceFile')

[jsiedentop]

I tried to generate a facade of the chrome extensions api but got this error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/dart_js_facade_gen/index.js:28
  if (e.name !== 'DartFacadeError') throw e;
                                    ^

Node.js v18.8.0

Steps to reproduce

# create interactive node docker container and execute a bash
docker run -it --rm node:18 bash

# setup build environment inside of the docker container
mkdir /build
cd /build
npm install -g dart_js_facade_gen

# load chrome interfaces
npm install --save @types/chrome

# execute the dart_js facade generator
dart_js_facade_gen --destination=/build/lib --base-path=/build/node_modules/@types/chrome /build/node_modules/@types/chrome/index.d.ts

My approach worked with some minimal typescript interfaces. I tried to isolate the error and found out that there are several interfaces with such a line: export var TAB_ID_NONE: -1; that cause problems. But there are more errors.

Because I only need a small portion of the interface I decided to use direct js interop instead of this generator. Would be awesome, if this project could be resumed. I would have liked to publish a dart version of the chrome extension api on pub.dev

Same error for me as well.

@sigmundch @kevmoo any plans to fix this in near future?

[kevmoo]

@ps9310 no. We're likely going to sunset this project. It has not been maintained and it's VERY outdated.

I'd love to have a solution in this space, though.
