[Bug?]: cannot import xo from a module using PNP

Self-service

• I’d be willing to implement a fix

Describe the bug

I’m trying to create a SDK package for VS Code’s xo linter https://github.com/xojs/vscode-linter-xo

But PnP doesn’t seem to work with import(). Am I doing something wrong?

[Error - 20:01:44] Cannot find package 'xo' imported from ~/dev/<myproject>/.yarn/sdks/xo/index.js

I did specify pnpEnableEsmLoader: true in my yarnrc.yml.

To reproduce

Create the SDK and try to import it

mkdir -p .yarn/sdks/xo
echo '{"type": "module"}' >.yarn/sdks/xo/package.json
cat >.yarn/sdks/xo/index.js <<EOF

import {existsSync} from 'fs'

const relPnpApiPath = '../../../.pnp.cjs'

const { pathname: absPnpApiPath } = new URL(relPnpApiPath, import.meta.url)

if (existsSync(absPnpApiPath)) {
	if (!process.versions.pnp) {
		// Setup the environment to be able to import xo
		const { default: pnp } = await import(absPnpApiPath)
		pnp.setup()
	}
}

// Defer to the real xo your application uses
const { getErrorResults, getFormatter, outputFixes, lintText, lintFiles } = await import('xo')
export { getErrorResults, getFormatter, outputFixes, lintText, lintFiles }

EOF

Hi! 👋

This issue looks stale, and doesn’t feature the reproducible label - which implies that you didn’t provide a working reproduction using Sherlock. As a result, it’ll be closed in a few days unless a maintainer explicitly vouches for it or you edit your first post to include a formal reproduction (you can use the playground for that).

Note that we require Sherlock reproductions for long-lived issues (rather than standalone git repositories or similar) because we’re a small team. Sherlock gives us the ability to check which bugs are still affecting the master branch at any given point, and decreases the amount of code we need to run on our own machines (thus leading to faster bug resolutions). It helps us help you! 😃

If you absolutely cannot reproduce a bug on Sherlock (for example because it’s a Windows-only issue), a maintainer will have to manually add the upholded label. Thanks for helping us triaging our repository! 🌟

With node 17.4 we can make progress! See #4045
