[Bug?]: yarn rw setup server-file fails with js but works with ts

[lintfail]

What's not working?

yarn rw setup server-file doesn't work with js but works with ts

How do we reproduce the bug?

yarn create redwood-app sample  #(not typescript)
cd sample
yarn install
yarn rw setup server-file

fails with

[STARTED] Adding the server file...
[FAILED] The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Promise
The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Promise

Seems to work fine if the project is ts

Thank you @lintfail for raising this - can confirm this bug!

[lintfail]

Thanks @dac09 is there a possible temp workaround while I wait for the fix? Mostly trying to get this file to integrate with BullMQ as outlined here https://community.redwoodjs.com/t/redwoodjs-v7-bullmq-bullboard/5790

Hey hey, yes I'm prioritising looking at this today, so hope to have the fix published soon.

In the mean time work around is to do it manually.

1. Create server.js at api/src/server.js
2. Paste the content in as follows:

import { createServer } from '@redwoodjs/api-server'

import { logger } from 'src/lib/logger'

async function main() {
  const server = await createServer({
    logger,
  })

  await server.start()
}

main()

3. Install the api server

yarn workspace api add @redwoodjs/api-server@7.7.2

^^^ the version here should be the same version as your project.

HTH!

Hey all 👋 The fix for this was released in v7.7.3. If you could confirm that this new version fixes your problem that would be awesome!

[Josh-Walker-GM]

I ran through the reproduction steps on a v7.7.3 project and this appears to be fixed. Feel free to reopen if this is still an issue.
