Default version command does not work for esmodule packages

[JakeStanger]

If you use the now stable esmodule resolution (by including "type": "module" in your package.json), the default version command throws an error trying to get the main module.

λ fe version

  const pkg = findPackage(path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename))
                                                          ^

Node.js v18.3.0

I don't think there's going to be a very nice way around this unfortunately, as the concept of a "main" module is kinda thrown out the window. You can use meta.import.url to get the current module's URL, and could possibly do a walk up the filetree, but I'm not sure how reliable that'll be.

If the command can't be easily fixed, I propose args does a check to see if process.mainModule is defined, and if not just disables the version command.

May be ESM patch.

import { Args } from 'args';
import { showVersion } from './args-patches.js';

const args = new Args();
args.showVersion = showVersion.bind(args);

File args-pathches.js :

import path from 'node:path';
import { pathToFileURL } from 'node:url';
import fs from 'node:fs';
import { createRequire } from 'node:module';

/**
 * Retrieves the main module package.json information.
 *
 * @param {string} current
 *   The directory to start looking in.
 *
 * @return {Object|null}
 *   An object containing the package.json contents or NULL if it could not be found.
 */
const findPackage = function(current) {
	let file;
	let container;
	do
	{
		container = current;
		current = path.resolve(container, '..')
		file = path.resolve(container, 'package.json');
		file = fs.existsSync(file) && fs.statSync(file).isFile()
			? file : null;
	}
	while (null == file && current != container);
	// now either file exists or current ran out of containers
	if (null != file)
	{
		const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
		file = require(file);
	}

	return file;
}
const showVersion = function() {
	const pkg = findPackage(process.argv[1])
	const version = pkg?.version ?? '-/-'
	console.log(version)
	if (this.config.exit && this.config.exit.version) {
		// eslint-disable-next-line unicorn/no-process-exit
		process.exit()
	}
};

export { showVersion };
