Question: Workers in node without url module

[vallemar]

I'm trying to migrate webpack to rspack in NativeScript, I have most of the features working but the workers don't work.

The problem is that my target is Node but in NativeScript we don't have the node modules like in this case url

Worker definition:

const worker = new Worker(new URL("./worker", import.meta.url));

In the build I have this:

var worker = new Worker(new URL(/* worker import */__webpack_require__.p + __webpack_require__.u("src_worker_js"), __webpack_require__.b));

In my runtime.js I have this and this is the problem:

__webpack_require__.b = require("url").pathToFileURL(__filename);

Since the url module is not available in NS, the application does not start and I get the error.

Error: com.tns.NativeScriptException: Failed to find module: "url", relative to: app/tns_modules/

My question is: how can I configure rspack so that it does not use require("url") when creating a worker using the node target?.


As a note: I should mention that in NS we do have the URL object available, I mention it in case it can help here in some way.
