I wanted to know where bun keeps cache of imported modules, node js keeps it in require.cache object?

[tsp1998]

const main = async () => { console.log(require.cache) // const parse = customRequire('dotenv', 'parse') const parse = require('dotenv').parse // const { parse } = await import('dotenv') console.log(require.cache) console.log(parse, parse) } main()

I ran this code with node and bun, in node it shows all imported modules in cache but with bun it shows empty object for cache.

Thank you but I mean runtime cache not packages cache

[tsp1998]

I mean I need to check which modules imported in memory cache at runtime

You can use require.cache

The empty require.cache is a bug in our console.log implementation

Sorry for awaking this topic, but does it work with import? Nodejs says it is not and imports cache is unexposed, but how about Bun?

I'm trying to invalidate cache for certain modules that are loaded via import ... from. Is it achievable simple by doing delete require.cache[moduleName]?

[Jarred-Sumner]

yes it works with import too

@Jarred-Sumner Seems that no
If you try to require a file that uses inside import it just says Canot use import outside a module
I mean only local files I tried no external deps at all

@Jarred-Sumner
Seems like require.cache is always empty, and is not just a console.log bug
When I try to access somethign inside it always returns undefined even if the path should be there since was required in code
