Getting this Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]; when executing function starter-template

main.js ``` // import { Client } from 'node-appwrite';

// This is your Appwrite function // It's executed each time we get a request export default async ({ req, res, log, error }) => { // Why not try the Appwrite SDK? // // const client = new Client() // .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // .setProject(process.env.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID) // .setKey(process.env.APPWRITE_API_KEY);

// You can log messages to the console log('Hello, Logs!');

// If something goes wrong, log an error error('Hello, Errors!');

// The req object contains the request data if (req.method === 'GET') { // Send a response with the res object helpers // res.send() dispatches a string back to the client return res.send('Hello, World!'); }

// res.json() is a handy helper for sending JSON return res.json({ motto: 'Build Fast. Scale Big. All in One Place.', learn: 'https://appwrite.io/docs', connect: 'https://appwrite.io/discord', getInspired: 'https://builtwith.appwrite.io', });```

error Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /usr/code-start/src/main.js from /usr/local/src/server.js not supported. Instead change the require of main.js in /usr/local/src/server.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. at Hook._require.Module.require (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/require-in-the-middle/index.js:101:39) at /usr/local/src/server.js:55:28

TL;DR

The user is experiencing an error when executing the function starter-template. They are getting the error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]. The error is caused by running Appwrite 1.4.x style functions on previous versions. To resolve this, they need to create a new function using an older version of the CLI, specifically version 2.0.2. They can install this version with `npm install -g appwrite-cli@2.0.2`.

How did you create the function? Which Node.JS runtime version are you using? Are you using cloud or self-hosted?

i created the function using appwrite cli node 18 cloud

This error is caused by running Appwrite 1.4.x style functions on previous versions

Unfortunately, we haven't yet updated cloud to Appwrite 1.4 , but we promise it's coming very soon 🤞

To get this working, you'll want to create a new function using an older version of the CLI, version 2.0.2 should work. You can install it with npm install -g appwrite-cli@2.0.2

ok let me install this versionof cli then

Nice! Once you've got this you can initialise a new function, and the template should be working on cloud 👍

Why you guys removed old functions guide from appwrite docs?

It was updated to cover 1.4.x functions and we've had some difficulty migrating cloud in the meantime.

i am not able to find the guide which used to show about req.variables stuff, that's why i got confuse and thought that i have to migrate to new functions

Valid point, let me tag @VincentGe - should we show old functions guides under version dropdown?

It's not ideal, but if you really need to old docs urgently you can browse the source code from our git history https://github.com/appwrite/docs/blob/1.28.2/app/views/docs/functions.phtml

Thank you
