Current and expected behavior

While testing the v5.3.1 update I started getting test failures I was not getting in v5.3.0 with vite & vitest. Downgraded just to confirm and reapplied the update and get the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'node_modules/react/jsx-runtime' imported from node_modules/react-chartjs-2/dist/index.js
Did you mean to import "react/jsx-runtime.js"?
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Serialized Error: { code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND', url: 'file:///node_modules/react/jsx-runtime' }

Reproduction

Trying to use a Bar chart in a component in a test

chart.js version

v4.5.1

react-chartjs-2 version

v5.3.1

Possible solution

It seems like #1309 is the underlying change

[mightyvoid]

same issue, this change broke our deployment pipeline,
React 17 with v5.3.1.

@MatthewCallis @mightyvoid Hi. Could you please provide repo with reproduction? Cause all sandboxes are working without issue like that

[MatthewCallis]

@dangreen I'll try and get a repro, but I see in the sandboxes there is no matrix testing of React versions, everything is at v19 in the sandbox. Due to other dependencies I am stuck at v17, but would not have expected a semver breaking change on a point update.

@MatthewCallis React 17 + react-charjs-2 5.3.1 - no any issue

[dangreen]

Your issue look like bundler misconfiguration.

react@17 have 'jsx-runtime' file: https://app.unpkg.com/react@17.0.2/files/jsx-runtime.js

react@17 package.json don't have 'exports' field: https://app.unpkg.com/react@17.0.2/files/package.json

Thus bundler should resolve 'react/jsx-runtime' to 'node_modules/react/jsx-runtime.js' (like nodejs do, you can test it)
