openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Matrix crypto bootstrap fails: createRequire uses .ts extension in dist bundle [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to configure the bundler to rewrite the createRequire() argument from .ts to .js in the dist output.

Guidance

• Verify that the bundler configuration is set up to handle TypeScript files correctly and rewrite the file extensions as needed.
• Check the createRequire() function calls in the code to ensure they are using the correct file extensions.
• Consider updating the bundler or its configuration to support rewriting file extensions in the dist output.
• Test the fix by checking if the crypto bootstrap runtime loads successfully after applying the changes.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to the bundler configuration and not a specific code snippet.

Notes

The fix may require updates to the bundler configuration or the build process, and may not be a simple code change. The issue is specific to the OpenClaw 2026.4.1 version and Node v25.8.2, so the fix may not apply to other versions.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually rewriting the createRequire() argument from .ts to .js in the dist output, as updating the bundler configuration may not be feasible. This will allow the crypto bootstrap runtime to load successfully until a permanent fix is available.
