TypeError: fs.readFileAsync is not a function

[ronkot]

This is a Bug Report

Description

When I run serverless package, I get error fs.readFileAsync is not a function and build fails:

⠹ Packaging (and 1 more task)^R

    at FSReqCallback.oncomplete (node:fs:200:23)

The error seems to come from this code block inside serverless-webpack:

  return BbPromise.all([
    // Get file contents and stat in parallel
    fs.readFileAsync(fullPath),
    fs.statAsync(fullPath)
  ]).then(...)

As far as I could figure this out, the fs.readFileAsync is not part of Node's fs module but that kind of (*Async) functions are created by "promisifying" a callback-based function. However, such promisifying is not done inside this package.

If I add BbPromise.promisifyAll(fs); below the imports in file packageModules.js, the build process succeeds.

I don't understand how this package works for other people if such promisifying step is missing.

Well the package is working well when using Serverless < 4. Maybe that's a problem related with Serverless. I still not got a chance to find time to see how serverless-webpack behave on Serverless v4.

What version of node are you using btw?

[ronkot]

My node is v18.18.2

Yeah, maybe serverless < 4 did promisifyAll(fs) and serverless-webpack relied on that assumption..? If so, now serverless-webpack should promisify fs by itself.
