npm Package Compatibility

Tracks SharpTS compatibility with real-world npm packages. Tests live in SharpTS.Tests/IntegrationTests/RealPackageSmokeTests.cs.

Run: dotnet test --filter "Category=npm"

Results

All 16 smoke tests pass. Tests skip gracefully when npm is not on PATH.

Package	Version	Interpreter	Compiled	Notes
ms	2.1.3	Pass	Pass
uuid (CJS)	9.0.1	Pass	Pass	v4 only; deeper v3/v5 APIs blocked by #36
uuid (ESM)	9.0.1	Pass	Pass	Named imports v4, validate, NIL
debug	4.3.4	Pass	Pass	Loads + instantiates; wire-level output untested
semver	7.6.0	Pass	Pass
minimatch	9.0.4	Pass	Pass	Basic glob matching; AST class blocked by #37
yaml	2.4.1	Pass	Pass
lodash	4.17.21	Pass	Pass*	*compiled mode asserts only typeof _ — see below

Open gaps surfaced by this work

Tests pass with the API surface exercised above, but the smoke-test investigation surfaced several gaps that would block heavier real-world use. Each has a tracking issue:

• #36 — Parser: namespace not treated as contextual keyword in assignments. Blocks uuid's v3/v5 hash-function modules.
• #37 — Parser: uninitialized class field declarations (class Foo { name; }). Blocks minimatch's AST class.
• lodash compiled behavior — Lodash_Compiled currently asserts only typeof _ === "function" because _.chunk(...) and _.flatten(...) return wrong values under compiled mode. Root cause is a separate behavioral bug (not #40/#59, both now closed); to be filed as a follow-up issue. When fixed, the test's behavioral assertions can be strengthened.

Fixes landed during this work

Gaps that were closed:

• #22 — Compiled mode: timer callbacks can dispatch $PromiseResolveCallback / $PromiseRejectCallback
• #23 — Parser: automatic semicolon insertion (ASI)
• #24 — Runtime: Error class available as global variable (unblocks class X extends Error)
• #25 — Type checker: forward var references in lazy contexts
• #26 — Built-in module: tty
• #27 — Compiled mode: String(), Number(), Boolean() callable in emitted IL
• #28, #29, #30 — Lexer: satisfies as contextual keyword, $ as identifier character, scientific notation
• #31 — Type checker: index access with any key on object types
• #32 — Type checker: untyped CJS modules
• #33 — Module resolver: prefer CJS over ESM for require() calls
• #34 — Parser: class member syntax patterns
• #35 — Parser: optional chaining on calls and bracket access
• #40 — Compiled mode: two-pass inner-function hoist so cross-hoist forward references resolve instead of loading null.
• #55 — Interpreter: ESM named imports from a CJS module now read accessor-defined exports (Babel's Object.defineProperty(exports, "v4", { get: ... })), unblocking the uuid ESM path.
• #59 — Compiled mode: ClosureAnalyzer now visits the callee of new expressions, so cross-hoist captures work through constructors.

Additional runtime fixes: contextual keywords as identifiers, lenient parameter binding (missing args default to undefined), package.json exports condition ordering, lenient property access on built-in types, spec-compliant this binding in static methods and accessors, routing hoisted function decls through ArrowScopeDC.
