Can not force importing face-api.esm.js

[sakhovski]

Hello Vladimir,
found your fork of face-api two days ago. Kudos on work done! It is nice to have Typescript typings and sourcemaps. There is one small issue, which, as it seems, I can not get working. I can not force importing face-api.esm.js in my TS-class like this:
import * as faceapi from '@vladmandic/face-api/dist/face-api.esm.js';
With this import
import * as faceapi from '@vladmandic/face-api/';
it works perfectly in the browser (which imports face-api.esm.js), but breaks in my tests running in the Node (which imports face-api.node.js) with following Error:
Cannot find module '@tensorflow/tfjs-node' from 'face-api.node.js'

Did I do something wrong or some exports are missing?

Best Regards,
Vladimir

can you describe what happens in more details? that should work just fine
especially since import * as faceapi from '@vladmandic/face-api/'; simply points to the same file anyhow

breaks in my tests running in the Node (which imports face-api.node.js) with following Error:
Cannot find module '@tensorflow/tfjs-node' from 'face-api.node.js'

that is normal and fully documented - face-api.node.js,
see section 3.1 in the readme: https://github.com/vladmandic/face-api#31-import-commonjs

Turned out the real problem was in electron runner for jest, which was running with node version, which was different from the node version being used to compile tensorflow.

ahh, makes sense but not easy to spot immediately - glad its resolved.
