How can we get a little more attention to this. This is holding me back from using bun in production. 😢

Trying to use @testcontainers/postgresql also leads to the node_module_register error

[ibilux]

Same in pdfjs-dist (related to canvas).

[terrablue]

This blocks using node-gtk in combination with bun build --compile to produce standalone GTK apps.

I also get this error with the opencv bindings:

what is the status on this, is there anything I can do to get it to run ?

[826327700]

I also encountered this problem. This question has been raised for a long time. Is there still no solution?

[Jarred-Sumner]

This question has been raised for a long time. Is there still no solution?

The solution is we need to hire more engineers because there's too much to do

We are hiring in San Francisco

[826327700]

这个问题提了好久了，还是没有解决办法吗？

解决方案是我们需要雇佣更多的工程师，因为有太多事情要做

我们正在旧金山招聘

Sorry, I can't help with this, but I think we should pay attention to bun's compatibility with npm dependency packages generated by c++ static link libraries, otherwise bun will be difficult to apply to production projects. I also sincerely hope that bun can be liked and used by more people.

I'm sure you've already considered this, but hiring remote workers would allow you to find talent from all around the world. Not many people can (or want to) move to SF...

[arthurwolf]

I would expect this specific issue (and others like it?) have a huge cost/benefit ratio in terms of bringing new users to bun. it's the only thing at the moment blocking me from using bun for everything... solve this, and many more will be able to use bun, meaning more eyes on bun, meaning more ease hiring...

If I didn't hate on SF, I'd be applying in a heartbeat.

[timbrinded]

Whilst i understand the staffing issues, not having access to testcontainerspackage is a non-go for my monorepos.

With heavy heart will be moving back to pnpm until this issue is closed!
