error: Package subpath './public/extractFiles' is not defined by "exports" in /home/bot/wiki/node_modules/extract-files/package.json

How i can fix that error:
error: Package subpath './public/extractFiles' is not defined by "exports" in /home/bot/wiki/node_modules/extract-files/package.json

[tigerblue77]

Can you give more details ? Which version of Wiki.js are you trying to install ? Which version of nodeJS are you using ?
I had this error using nodeJS 18 (latest stable version) which seems not supported by Wiki.js yet.
=> Downgrade to nodeJS 16

Sources :

• Error during install - Package subpath './public/extractFiles' is not defined by "exports" #4869
• https://docs.requarks.io/install/requirements

[tigerblue77]

You're welcome.

Hello,
I ran into the exact same problem launching a new installation of Wiki js. Following tigerblue77's solution (downgrading to version 16 of node js) fixed the problem for me as well. Thanks for asking the question AzpektDev and thanks for answering tigerblue77!

I get this error with last wersion wiki.js. Can i fix it with node js 18.0 ?

[program-spiritual]

good, I meet the same question, you save me time, Thanx!

[lgarcia-sfisas]

You should update these repositories, we are already on version 18.14.0 of NodeJS.

[bruno-at-bareos]

Maybe it is time to upgrade extract-files (version 9.0 in wikijs) when last is 13.0 supporting newer nodejs version.

[tigerfoot]

For those who want to run nodejs16 under openSUSE Tumbleweed you can still install it from nodejs repository
then you can trick the service by specifying the /usr/bin/nodejs16 executable.

This is still an issue today 2023-10-11, even though the official page states that both nodeJS 18 and 20 are supported with the latest wiki version! (https://docs.requarks.io/install/requirements#nodejs). Nasty, not cool... 😞

[tigerfoot]

I've today use 2.5.300 version, installed nodejs20 (instead my old 16) and a simple restart make wikijs just working.
So thanks I completely missed in August update the fact that 20 was supported.

[hinteadan]

Hmm, I only tried Node18. I'll give it a go with v20 if U say it works in your case... 🤞

[hinteadan]

I have barely any knowledge abot node or javascript in general, but i was able to fix it with the help of this file:

wiki/patches/extract-files+9.0.0.patch

Line 9 in fd91caf

+ "./public/extractFiles": "./public/extractFiles.js",

i was running the container, which failed at some point (always), adding those three lines brought him back up nicely again.

But those 3 lines are already part of the change set of the latest release... They're already there if you update to the latest version. Which is the case for me; and I still get the error (with node18)... 🤷‍♂️

[wngdarkjester]

I am also getting this error, trying to install:

wikijs 2.5.300
node.js 20.9.0

[phreaker0]

Getting the same error with nodejs 18 and 20 with the latest packaged release version v2.5.301 from:
https://github.com/requarks/wiki/releases/download/v2.5.301/wiki-js.tar.gz

[zieglerjm]

Is this still not fixed? Using NodeJS v.20.11.1.

"error: Package subpath './public/extractFiles' is not defined by "exports" in E:\repos\WikiJS\node_modules\extract-files\package.json"

NodeJS v18.19.1 has the same error.
Looks like v16.20.2 is working for me.

@zieglerjm @wngdarkjester @hinteadan @AzpektDev you guys dont have to do anything just navigate to your node_modules :-
and track 3 files which is below -

1. node_modules/@graphql-tools/links/node_modules/apollo-upload-client/public/createUploadLink.js
2. node_modules/@graphql-tools/links/node_modules/apollo-upload-client/public/isExtractableFile.js
3. node_modules/@graphql-tools/links/node_modules/apollo-upload-client/public/ReactNativeFile.js

and correct path of extract-files module like below -

var extractFiles = require('../../extract-files/public/extractFiles');
module.exports = require('../../extract-files/public/isExtractableFile');
module.exports = require('../../extract-files/public/ReactNativeFile');

After doing that it works like a charm.

Used Node Latest Version - 20.11.1

I'm facing the same issue, but I don't even find such files in my node_modules so how to fix this.

Has something changed recently related to this issue or have these files been replaced by something else?

node_modules/apollo-upload-client -> update on this path with node 22

[sebastian-gajda]

@giri-qs, is it working now on node 22?

It is working . The search the files mentioned. You can fuzzy also and alter the path manually. That's it.

[vsiddharthv]

Working as mentioned by @amarg3891 !
I faced the same issue with Wiki.js v2.5.308 and node v22+
For more clarity, the files were here:

Update the path in all three of these files
