What happened?

i have implemented Adminjs in my Nodejs app and when i run it locally it works as expected, but when i try to upload it to Railway server i get:

SyntaxError: Named export 'ComponentLoader' not found. The requested module 'adminjs' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.

Bug prevalence

whenever i upload to Railway server

AdminJS dependencies version

"@adminjs/design-system": "^4.0.3",
"@adminjs/express": "^6.0.1",
"@adminjs/sequelize": "^4.0.0",
"adminjs": "^7.5.2",

What browsers do you see the problem on?

No response

Relevant log output

import { ComponentLoader } from 'adminjs'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'ComponentLoader' not found. The requested module 'adminjs' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:
import pkg from 'adminjs';
const { ComponentLoader } = pkg;

Relevant code that's giving you issues

import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { ComponentLoader } from 'adminjs'

const componentLoader = new ComponentLoader();

const Components = {
    MyDashboard: componentLoader.add('MyDashboard', fileURLToPath(new URL('./components/dashboard.jsx', import.meta.url))),
    // other custom components
}



export { componentLoader, Components }

It looks to be a Railway integration issue of some kind since we haven't had similar issues with other hosting services. Especially this error:

The requested module 'adminjs' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.

All latest versions of AJS are ESM-only and there's no CJS code in it's releases. My guess is that Railway runs your code through some kind of wrapper that's written in CommonJS.

Could you share your tsconfig if it's a Typescript app?

Do you use Babel or any other JS compiler?

Could you try to import everything from adminjs and show the log output?

import * as AdminJSModule from 'adminjs'

console.log(AdminJSModule)
