Error "Must use import to load ES Module" when using es6 modules

[kerteszgab]

I get the error

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: C:\Program Files\iisnode\www\es6module\runner.mjs

when I run the example below under iisnode:

hi.mjs:

export function sayHi(name) {
    return "Hi, " + name + "!"
}

runner.mjs:

import { sayHi } from './hi.mjs'
console.log(sayHi('LogRocket'))

It all works as expected when run with
node runner.mjs
(node 13.8.0), however under iisnode I get the error above.

Here is my web.config for reference:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>

    <handlers>
      <add name="iisnode" path="runner.mjs" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
    </handlers>

    <iisnode
      nodeProcessCommandLine="&quot;%programfiles%\nodejs\node.exe&quot;"
      interceptor="&quot;%programfiles%\iisnode\interceptor.js&quot;" />

  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Having this problem as well.

I managed to fix this issue by using the esm module. I created a server.js file which I reference from the web.config like this:

require = require("esm")(module/*, options*/);
module.exports = require("./app.js");

In this example app.js is an ES module.
