Fixes #4526

Thanks @zsilbi for the report.

❓ Type of change

  • 📖 Documentation (updates to the documentation, readme, or JSdoc annotations)
  • 🐞 Bug fix (a non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • 👌 Enhancement (improving an existing functionality like performance)
  • ✨ New feature (a non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • 🧹 Chore (updates to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries)
  • ⚠️ Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

📚 Description

guardCreateRequire and stripBareNodeImports ran a whole-chunk regex over Cloudflare output. That is correct for real call sites (workerd has no import.meta.url, #4132), but it also rewrote matches inside string/template/comment data.

  • createRequire(import.meta.url) inside a double-quoted string became createRequire(import.meta.url || "file:///"), which is invalid JS (Expected "}" but found "file").
  • A line that is exactly import "node:fs"; inside a template literal was deleted.

Both plugins now apply the same replacements only in code context. Real createRequire(import.meta.url) call sites and top-level bare node:* imports are unchanged.

📝 Checklist

  • I have linked an issue or discussion.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.

…strings

Whole-chunk regex rewrites treated embedded module text as code, which
broke cloudflare_module output when createRequire(import.meta.url) or a
bare import "node:*" line appeared inside a string or template.

Fixes nitrojs#4526

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Cloudflare preset now uses shared output plugins that rewrite executable createRequire calls and remove executable bare node:* imports. Source masking preserves matching text in strings, comments, and templates. Tests cover generated modules, embedded data, and preset output.

Changes

Cloudflare output safeguards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scoped output transformations
src/presets/cloudflare/output-plugins.ts
Adds source-context masking and the guardCreateRequire and stripBareNodeImports Rollup plugins.
Cloudflare preset integration
src/presets/cloudflare/preset.ts
Replaces local plugin implementations with imports from output-plugins.ts.
Plugin and generated-output validation
test/unit/cloudflare-output-plugins.test.ts, test/fixture/server/routes/embedded-kit.ts, test/presets/cloudflare-module.test.ts, test/presets/vercel.test.ts
Tests executable rewrites, preservation of embedded source text, and generated route configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ef5d6

The Cloudflare output transformation may still skip required createRequire rewrites when valid regular-expression syntax is present, potentially producing runtime-invalid output. This bounded correctness issue needs owner follow-up before merge.

Use the required internal-helper layout and options parameter.

Move codeContextMask and replaceInCode after the exported plugin functions. Change replaceInCode to accept an options object as its second parameter.

As per coding guidelines, internal helpers must be at the end of the file, and multi-argument functions must use an options object as the second parameter.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Recognize regular-expression literals before treating // as a line comment.

codeContextMask treats the // in const matcher = /[//]/; as a line comment. It then marks a later executable createRequire(import.meta.url) call as non-code. guardCreateRequire does not rewrite that call, so the generated Cloudflare chunk can still fail when import.meta.url is undefined.

Use a JavaScript tokenizer, or extend the state machine to mask regular-expression literals, escapes, and character classes. Add a failing regression test under test/fixture/ before the fix.

As per coding guidelines, test/fixture/**/* requires: “Bug fixes MUST include a failing test first — add regression tests to test/fixture/.”
