Warning from vite about using eval

[crystalfp]

Bottleneck has served me well in a standalone typescript application (not involving Redis).
Now I moved this code inside an Electron application built using vite and the following warnings appear during build for development and production:

node_modules/bottleneck/lib/RedisConnection.js (18:21) Use of eval in "node_modules/bottleneck/lib/RedisConnection.js" is strongly discouraged as it poses security risks and may cause issues with minification.
node_modules/bottleneck/lib/IORedisConnection.js (26:21) Use of eval in "node_modules/bottleneck/lib/IORedisConnection.js" is strongly discouraged as it poses security risks and may cause issues with minification.

I don't use Redis.
Is it possible to load these modules only if Redis is used?
Well, seems everything works in spite of these warning, but they are annoying.
Thanks.

You can suppress the specific warning in the console for vite via the rollup options

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';

export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      onwarn(warning, warn) {
        // Suppress "Use of eval in" warnings
        if (warning.code === 'EVAL') {
          /*
           * Bottleneck has two instances of eval
           * node_modules/bottleneck/lib/RedisConnection.js (18:21) Use of eval in "node_modules/bottleneck/lib/RedisConnection.js" is strongly discouraged as it poses security risks and may cause issues with minification.
           * node_modules/bottleneck/lib/IORedisConnection.js (26:21) Use of eval in "node_modules/bottleneck/lib/IORedisConnection.js" is strongly discouraged as it poses security risks and may cause issues with minification.
           */
          if (warning.id?.includes('RedisConnection.js')) {
              return;
          }
        }
        // Use default for everything else
        warn(warning);
      },
    },
  },
})

Thanks a lot @toddb !
Unfortunately the warning is still here running npx vite build.
After putting your code inside vite.config.mts and even adding a onLog function, seems these functions are never called (having added a good, old console.log...).
Instead, the other rollup options like output: {manualChunks: work.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Maybe the problem is vitejs/vite#13624
So seems there is no solution for now.

Strange because it did work for me as expected using onwarn and I played around with understanding the object codes, etc.

Couple of notes:

• I'm using yarn
• onLog is still open as a ticket, so wouldn't expect it to work

Good luck!

This solution did work for me. Thanks!

Personally, not happy with tweaking the config, and given the lib seems not maintained anymore, I switched to https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-throttle. Works well.
