getting SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module while running in deployed java app

I need to run a simple node app from my Java project that expose one function. I followed the logic on the documentation “Interact with Node.js” part and in local everything works, but when I try to do the same in the deployed java app I get SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module when doing nodeRuntime.getExecutor(codeFile).executeVoid();

I already tried to put “type”: “module” in package.json or change the extension to .mjs without success.

this is the package.json:

{
  "name": "banca_pdf",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "script to generate banca pdf",
  "main": "pdf.js",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "pak1989",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "pdfmake": "^0.2.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/pdfmake": "^0.1.21"
  }
}

Nice work and thank you for sharing your solution with the community.

In the end I made it work with I think the option 1. I had to point to the library with his absolute path in the js file, went back and made the package.json look like this:

{
  "name": "banca_pdf",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "script to generate banca pdf",
  "main": "pdf.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "pak1989",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "pdfmake": "^0.2.4"
  }
}

The way I call it in Java is the same as the express server example.

Thanks for the inputs!
