Error Description

error: Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined
    at Object.g.ready.r.useBackupModule (https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/dist/browsers/sodium.js:1:943)

Quick finding with Orama Ai on Deno docs

const __filename = new URL(import.meta.url).pathname;
const __dirname = __filename.substring(0, __filename.lastIndexOf('/'));

According to https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/node/

We should just have to replace:

• __filename with import.meta.filename
• __dirname with import.meta.dirname

Tried doing it myself but I can't figure out how to build the project to prove it works...

Pretty sure it's all that's needed. Did the same with another library with the same issue and it worked.

How to solve this problem?

[mash8]

I'm working on a fix. Gonna take a bit of time...

You can temp fix it by staying on deno 1.x
