Current Behavior

I get the following error when trying to run npm run build on the sample project provided below. It is a barebones skeleton React Vite starter app which imports monaco-editor and monaco-graphql in main.tsx and runs initializeMode. This was working in a previous version of monaco-editor 0.48.

Error:
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/contrib/hover/browser/hover" from "/Users/skalidindi/oss/vite-monaco-editor-build-bug/node_modules/monaco-graphql/esm/full.js".
This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime.
If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to
build.rollupOptions.external

Expected Behavior

I expect the error to not occur and the build to pass.

Steps To Reproduce

2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run build

Environment

• Monaco-Graphql Version:
• OS: MacOS
• Browser: Arc

This is also failing in my project, which uses Webpack, not Vite.

Looks like this is due to a recent change in monaco-editor-core where /vs/editor/contrib/hover/browser/hover was renamed to /vs/editor/contrib/hover/browser/hoverController: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/210219/files#diff-952bfc0bbfb137401f2692dfbf091b8cca1506a573b26242a0233b2845574b9d

I was able to work-around this by adding an alias to my webpack config:

const config = {
  // ...
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/contrib/hover/browser/hover': 'monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/contrib/hover/browser/hoverController',
    },
  },
};

I suspect that the monaco-editor-core hover/hoverController is an internal module and not intended for direct import by external packages, but I don't know enough about the monaco-editor ecosystem to know for sure. That said, I supose one way to address this would be to update the hover import in monaco-graphql to refer to the new file and to also update its peerDependency on monaco-editor to match. Happy to raise a PR if this is the right approach, but I'll leave that up to the maintainers. 🙂

A PR would be welcome if you've tracked down a solution!

This workaround work only for monaco-editor >= "0.49.0" et monaco-editor < "0.52.0"

There is currently a lot of movements in renaming files directly in the vscode repo
This one is already in the monaco-editor: "0.52.0"
renaming and extract some code from hoverController => contentHoverController2
microsoft/vscode@e4843ae

And maybe in the next release of monaco-editor:
renaming contentHoverController2 => contentHoverController
microsoft/vscode@ef4eae3

Also I didn't dig deep into the code modification of each commit/release from vscode repo, but my use case of using monaco-graphql is working with those workarounds
