Error when trying to use the cloud storage plugin: Can't resolve "fs"

  I ran into this recently. there's kind of an odd work-around atm

  
  
  

  setup a folder called "mocks" and put a

  emptyObject.js

  in it with this as its contents :

  export default {}

  
  
  

  then add this to your payload.config.ts under the

  admin

  property

  
  
  

  webpack: (config) => {
              return {
                  ...config,
                  resolve: {
                      ...config.resolve,
                      alias: {
                          ...config.resolve.alias,
                          'fs': mockModulePath,
                      }
                  }
              };
          },

  
  
  

  from what I understand, the issue arises because part of the build process assumes being on the browser, and

  fs

  doesn't exist there. so this alias allows it to get around that

  Alright I'll try this, thanks!

  
  
  

  It works!

  
  
  

  Thank you!

  
  
  

  NOTE FOR THOSE USING PNPM: make sure to

  pnpm i -D process

  to avoid errors

  Hey

  , thanks for helping out! I just ran into the same problem, but I'm not able to fix it unfortunately. What does the mockModulePath refer to? Is it the imported empty object or the path as a string?

  empty object

  Hmm I get an 'Invalid Configuration Object' Error when I do that. I have no idea about webpack so I'm pretty lost here😅

  
  
  

  Has someone already gone ahead and opened up an issue? That workaround feels weird

  Agreed, I haven't updated my payload cms lately, so i wonder if it's a new error. I'll post here if it comes up when I do.

  Hey

  I've followed all the steps and the build doesn't error out anymore; however, I'm still getting this payload warning:

  
  [22:53:32] INFO (payload): WARNING in ./src/api/s3/actions/fetchS3Client.ts 21:34-46 export 'readFileSync' (imported as 'readFileSync') was not found in 'fs' (possible exports: default) webpack compiled with 1 warning
  

  Is this normal?

  I’ve not seen that warning since applying the details above. Your error does look like what I encountered initially though

  Hi Jakey. Hmm i see. I ran some tests and the fs is still able to write, I'm not getting build errors, but the error is bugging me.

  hm, i wonder if our plugin versions are different

  
  
  

  "@payloadcms/plugin-cloud-storage": "^1.0.15",

  im not using the plugin cloud storage

• 

  jakey___2 years ago

  oh ok, my bad then. my issues arose from the plugin originally

  All good. just figured it out. I had to use require('fs') and the warnings are gone now. So that's good to know!
