Bundling failed: Module not found

Forge

I’m building a Forge application uploading files to remote server with formdata-node, and I get below error while bundling. Anyone ever seen this? Or is there any limits with Forge bundling?

Reloading code…

=== Running forge lint…
No issues found.

=== Bundling code…

Error: Bundling failed: Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘formdata-node/file-from-path’ in ‘/app/src/testrail’

Here is my package.json

and the typescript file importing 'formdata-node",

import { Logger } from "../util/Logger";

import { FormDataEncoder } from "form-data-encoder";
import { FormData } from "formdata-node";
import { fileFromPathSync } from "formdata-node/file-from-path";


export class TestRailClient {

    public uploadAttachment(url: string, name: string, filepath: string): void {
        const form = new FormData();
        try {
            form.set("attachment", fileFromPathSync(filepath), name);
            const encoder = new FormDataEncoder(form);
            // return this.handleResponse(this.axiosInstance.post(url, Readable.from(encoder), {headers: encoder.headers})) as Promise<AttachmentUploadResult>;
        } catch (error) {
            Logger.error(error);
            throw error; 
        }
    }

I’ve run into this problem with fordata-node and a number of other packages. I believe this is due to various unsupported Node.js modules in Forge.

When it comes to posting files using multipart/form-data there are also limitations tracked at: [FRGE-114] - Ecosystem Jira

Using application/x-www-form-urlencoded might be a workaround if the API you’re connecting to supports this.
