Skypack CDN down?

[jeroen]

Is there some production safe CDN to use rest.js from? Currently my webapp uses the code from the documentation:

<script type="module">
import { Octokit } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@octokit/rest@18";

const octokit = new Octokit({
  auth: "mytoken"
});
</script>

But since a few days things stopped working and this returns this js code with:

/*
 * [Package Error] "@octokit/rest@v18.5.5" could not be built. 
 *
 *   [1/5] Verifying package is valid…
 *   [2/5] Installing dependencies from npm…
 *   No matching version found for @octokit/rest@18.5.5.
 *
 * How to fix:
 *   - If you believe this to be an error in Skypack, file an issue here: https://github.com/skypackjs/skypack-cdn/issues
 *   - If you believe this to be an issue in the package, share this URL with the package authors to help them debug & fix.
 *   - Use https://skypack.dev/ to find a web-friendly alternative to find another package.
 */

console.warn("[Package Error] \"@octokit/rest@v18.5.5\" could not be built. \n[1/5] Verifying package is valid…\n[2/5] Installing dependencies from npm…\nNo matching version found for @octokit/rest@18.5.5.");
throw new Error("[Package Error] \"@octokit/rest@v18.5.5\" could not be built. ");
export default null;

Is there a way to use rest.js in webapps that is more production safe?

yep! noticed this today, received the same error..

I'll check in with the SkyPack folks. For the time being can you explicitly import 18.5.4?

https://cdn.skypack.dev/@octokit/rest@18.5.4

[rayoray]

@gr2m thanks ../rest@18.5.4 works

[jeroen]

Yes that works, but meanwhile all webapps that use the documented way to import rest.js are down 😓

[gr2m]

I tested with a beta release and that seemed to have worked:
https://cdn.skypack.dev/-/@octokit/rest@v18.5.6-beta.1-qCSdAXeBFn6Ob8CGWAPC/dist=es2020,mode=imports/optimized/@octokit/rest.js

The Skypack folks didn't get back to me yet, I'll do a fix release to hopefully resolve the problem

[gr2m]

Can you try again? I think the problem should be resolved now

[jeroen]

Yeah it works again now. I'd like to prevent downtime in the future, is it possible to mirror to a stable cdn? Or are there dist bundles available that I can vendor in my app?

[gr2m]

It was just for this one build, I’ll see if I can add a check post release to see if it failed to prevent that exact problem from happening again.

Mirroring is not easy, it’s not a single file, it still does all the imports to its other dependencies.

We don’t do bundling right now, we did it in the past and it caused to much overhead so we stopped, but we might do it again in future, as release assets

Ok thanks!
