I’ve come across this error when building grammar for a parser, using nearley.js. I have three files: grammar.ne, grammar.js, and parser.js. The full error is below:
$ ./.config/build.sh > error: Two output files share the same path but have different contents: .build/grammar.js.map > error: Two output files share the same path but have different contents: .build/grammar.js exit status 1
Here are the contents of each of the files:
grammar.ne:
main -> (statement "n"):+ statement -> "foo" | "bar"
grammar.js:
// Generated automatically by nearley, version 2.20.1 // http://github.com/Hardmath123/nearley import Lexer from './lexer'; (function() { function id(x) { return x[0]; } var grammar = { Lexer: Lexer, ParserRules: [ { "name": "main$ebnf$1$subexpression$1", "symbols": ["statement", { "literal": "n" }] }, { "name": "main$ebnf$1", "symbols": ["main$ebnf$1$subexpression$1"] }, { "name": "main$ebnf$1$subexpression$2", "symbols": ["statement", { "literal": "n" }] }, { "name": "main$ebnf$1", "symbols": ["main$ebnf$1", "main$ebnf$1$subexpression$2"], "postprocess": function arrpush(d) { return d[0].concat([d[1]]); } }, { "name": "main", "symbols": ["main$ebnf$1"] }, { "name": "statement$string$1", "symbols": [{ "literal": "f" }, { "literal": "o" }, { "literal": "o" }], "postprocess": function joiner(d) { return d.join(''); } }, { "name": "statement", "symbols": ["statement$string$1"] }, { "name": "statement$string$2", "symbols": [{ "literal": "b" }, { "literal": "a" }, { "literal": "r" }], "postprocess": function joiner(d) { return d.join(''); } }, { "name": "statement", "symbols": ["statement$string$2"] } ] , ParserStart: "main" } if (typeof module !== 'undefined' && typeof module.exports !== 'undefined') { module.exports = grammar; } else { grammar = grammar; } })();
const nearley = require("nearley"); const grammar = require("./grammar.js"); const parser = new nearley.Parser(nearley.Grammar.fromCompiled(grammar)); parser.feed("foon"); console.log(JSON.stringify(parser.results));
Nothing that I have found online has helped at all. This is built in a TypeScript repl, and I have a lexer written in TypeScript, if that helps any.

Answer
I figured out the issue. In my package.json, I had used the module "es2015"
when I should have been using "commonjs"
. I then changed the file extension of grammar.js
to .cjs
, and that got rid of all of the automatically-generated code errors. I also added a script to the package json npx nearleyc grammar.ne -o grammar.cjs && node parser.cjs
, which allows me to execute compiling the grammar file faster, and uses the new .cjs
extension to compile it to a CommonJS module; this also allows me to run the test file at the same time.
