Description
Summary
When running the local development server for a Lightning Web Component (LWC) that imports from lightning/pageReferenceUtils, the server fails to start and throws a "[error] 404: Could not find module entry with specifier "lightning/pageReferenceUtils"" error. This prevents the local development and testing of any LWC that utilizes this standard Salesforce module, disrupting the development workflow. According to Salesforce documentation, lightning/pageReferenceUtils is intended for use within Lightning Experience. However, for a seamless local development experience, the local development server should support this module.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Create a new Lightning Web Component named demo
- In the component's JavaScript file (demo.js), add the following import statement:
import { encodeDefaultFieldValues } from 'lightning/pageReferenceUtils';
- Execute the following command in your terminal to start the local development server:
sf lightning dev component --name demo
Expected Result
The local development server should start successfully without any errors. The demo component should be rendered, and the lightning/pageReferenceUtils module should be correctly resolved, allowing for local development and testing.
Actual Result
The local development server fails to start. The following error is displayed in the terminal, indicating that thelightning/pageReferenceUtils
module cannot be found:
