Noir wasm compiler does not resolve deps correctly

[ioedeveloper]

I tested "@noir-lang/noir_wasm": "1.0.0-beta.3" with recent changes to the stealth drop example in this PR noir-lang/noir-examples#42, and had the error below.

This is likely due to @signorecello not using fixed dependencies so https://github.com/signorecello/zk-nullifier-sig is pulling in a different version of bignum than expected.

[signorecello]

Yeah I should pin that version. In any case this works with nargo compile, just not with noir_wasm according to @ioedeveloper

[TomAFrench]

Ok, @ioedeveloper can you provide some code which we can use to reproduce your issue?

[TomAFrench]

@signorecello fyi if you're creating a set of libraries which don't pin their dependencies to particular commits then we're going to deprioritise any debugging of issues which involve them as they're built on sand.

I tested using the steathdrop example from zkpedro/plume branch, using the same config for Nargo.toml

[package]
name = "stealthdrop"
type = "bin"
authors = [""]

[dependencies]
trees = { git = "https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/zk-kit.noir", tag = "main", directory = "packages/merkle-trees" }
ecrecover = { tag = "main", git = "https://github.com/colinnielsen/ecrecover-noir" }
plume = { tag = "main", git = "https://github.com/signorecello/zk-nullifier-sig", directory = "circuits/noir" }
noir_bigcurve = { tag = "v0.6.0", git = "https://github.com/noir-lang/noir_bigcurve" }

[signorecello]

got it @TomAFrench in this case I told @ioedeveloper to open this issue because he told me it works with nargo and not noir_wasm so it doesn't seem like a versioning issue

[signorecello]

just to be sure, pinned both versions to v0.6.0 on zk-kit and plume

[TomAFrench]

@ioedeveloper do you have an example of how you've set up noir_wasm? Ideally this would a repository that I can clone and run to experience the issue you're running into.

[TomAFrench]

bump @ioedeveloper

[ioedeveloper]

@TomAFrench To reproduce:

• clone the https://github.com/ethereum/remix-project repo
• bump the version of @noir-lang/noir_wasm to 1.0.0-beta.3 and yarn install
• yarn build and yarn serve to run the project
• in the running project/IDE, create src/main.nr with the stealthdrop example and the nargo.toml dependencies.
• check the console for errors.

[TomAFrench]

Ok, the root cause is the JS dependency resolve not supporting multiple libraries with the same name in the dependency tree. Fixing this would require rewriting a good fraction of noir_wasm.
