Fails to import fontawesom-svg-core and only shows a blank page

[ukleinek]

Describe the bug

I installed wetty using sudo npm -g i wetty on a raspberry pi running Debian 12.
Starting it (wetty -p 3000) and connectiing to it using firefox http://raspi:3000/ only shows an empty black page, the browser console has an error message

Uncaught TypeError: The specifier “@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core” was a bare specifier, but was not remapped to anything. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”, “../” or “/”.

Doesn't work using Chromium either (with a similar error message and also an empty black page).
Installing wetty on the Debian testing machine (using nodejs 20.15.0) shows the same symptoms.

Host running wetty

• Device: Raspberry Pi CM4
• OS: Debian 12
• nodejs v18.19.0

Desktop accessing wetty

• OS: Debian testing
• Browser: Firefox 108.0.3

Additional context
I have no experience with nodejs, so if you need some more information, please ask.

This is a duplicate of #503

According to the duplicate this was fixed in 2023. Not sure why it's not part of the latest release?

I encountered same issue with wetty@v2.7.0 & node.js v 22.16.0 🤔

In my case, my browser seems to try to load unbundled javascript file as build/client.js, and browser throws error in trying to load @fontawesome-svg-core package.

I found the workaround to fix this issue, just clone this repository and build it myown

still happening. Can someone summarize what the issue is and what the current best and simpliest solution is. Thank you.
