[node-plop] Can't use node-plop inside vscode extension

[Stun3R]

Hi 👋🏼

I'm trying to do a vscode-extension which generate components based on a plopfile.js that I usefor a plop CLI.

As it is mandatory to do it programmatically, I use node-plop but each time I test the extension I get the following error:

require() of ES Module from not supported. Instead change the require of index.js in... to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. with the path pointing to node-plop.

I did some research about it & it looks like as VSCode is based on electron & they don't support ESM package only. microsoft/vscode#130367

Maybe I'm missing something out of the box and would be glad to have your thought on it 🙏🏼

@Stun3R have you figured a solution to this?

[ashish-gawali-adi]

@amwmedia would it be possible to know if there a version of node-plop that is CommonJS module and can be used in VSCode extension.

@ashish-gawali-adi do not tag individual maintainers.

There is no node-plop CJS release.

Sorry for that.

Thank you for the answer.

jumping on this thread, I am having the issue and it's works fine for 0.26.1 but for any version above I got the same error. Is there any manage change that went in from 0.26.* to the current version 0.32.*?
