v1.6.1: Browser dist entry point is an empty stub, breaking all named exports #1402

Description

@eliaharris

Expected Behavior

dist/browser/index.js should contain the full pre-bundled browser build with all named exports (Jimp, ResizeStrategy, etc.), as it does in v1.6.0.

Current Behavior

In v1.6.1, dist/browser/index.js is a 3-line stub that exports nothing:

export {};
// A stub. The real build is done by rollup.
//# sourceMappingURL=index-browser.mjs.map

Similarly, dist/browser/index.d.ts is:

export {};
//# sourceMappingURL=index-browser.d.mts.map

This causes any bundler that resolves the browser export condition (e.g. Rollup's nodeResolve({ browser: true }), Webpack) to get an empty module. Named imports like import { Jimp, ResizeStrategy } from "jimp" silently resolve to undefined, causing runtime errors.

Failure Information (for bugs)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install jimp@1.6.1 (or jimp@^1.6.0 which resolves to 1.6.1)
  2. Use any bundler that respects the browser export condition in package.json (Rollup with @rollup/plugin-node-resolve({ browser: true }), Webpack, Stencil, etc.)
  3. Import named exports: import { Jimp, ResizeStrategy } from "jimp";
  4. The imports resolve to undefined because the browser entry point is a stub

Comparison:

File v1.6.0 v1.6.1
dist/browser/index.js 727KB, 236 lines, full bundle with exports 98 bytes, stub: export {};
dist/browser/index.d.ts 116KB, 1764 lines of type declarations 55 bytes, stub: export {};
dist/browser/index.js.map 2.9MB 3.0MB (references full build sources)

Note that the sourcemap in 1.6.1 references all the expected source files and is actually larger than the 1.6.0 sourcemap — suggesting the full Rollup build ran but its output was not written to dist/browser/index.js.

The package.json exports field still points to the stub:

".": {
  "browser": {
    "types": "./dist/browser/index.d.ts",
    "default": "./dist/browser/index.js"
  }
}

Context

  • Jimp Version: 1.6.1 (1.6.0 works correctly)
  • Operating System: macOS Darwin 25.3.0
  • Node version: v24.3.0

Failure Logs
