Connect Session Server throws error

[willmcvay]

Background context or User story:

Not sure how many people use it but the Connect Session server function is broken. Instantiating the ReapitConnectServerSession class in a simple node script throws an error "ReferenceError: self is not defined:" - my guess is one of the methods is not bound to "this".

Specification or Acceptance Criteria:

• Should correctly instantiate the server session class

Replication Steps

• Use the https://github.com/reapit/foundations-code-examples/tree/main/node-website-feed project
• Upgrade the reapit connect session package and other dependencies to see the error

Would you know their typescript/javascript setup? Sounds like a esbuild/ecmascript problem?

Likely that the build setup is for frontend instead of backend which can happen for many reasons.

I found the bug trying to update the dependencies in this simple Node example - upgrade connect session and you should see

Thanks Will. Looking at that repo I think the problem is definately related to the build of the packages. I'd recommend we split the server package out into a seperate package and or with it's own seperate build method so we can include node and other requirements without the frontend related requirements
