summary: Historical Node + tsx "__name is not a function" crash and its cause

# Node + tsx "\_\_name is not a function" crash
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Resolved. This crash does not reproduce on the current `tsx` version pinned in
|
|
`package.json` (`4.22.3`) or on current Node releases. Kept here in case a
|
|
future `tsx`/esbuild upgrade reintroduces it.
|
|
|
|
## Original symptom
|
|
|
|
Running OpenClaw dev scripts through `tsx` failed at startup with:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[openclaw] Failed to start CLI: TypeError: __name is not a function
|
|
at createSubsystemLogger (src/logging/subsystem.ts)
|
|
at <caller> (src/agents/auth-profiles/constants.ts)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Line numbers are omitted; both files have changed since the original crash
|
|
and the specific lines no longer match.
|
|
|
|
This appeared after dev scripts switched from Bun to `tsx` (`2871657e`,
|
|
2026-01-06) to make Bun optional. The equivalent Bun-based path did not crash.
|
|
It was originally observed on Node v25.3.0 on macOS; other platforms that run
|
|
Node 25 were considered likely to be affected too.
|
|
|
|
## Cause
|
|
|
|
`tsx` transforms TS/ESM through esbuild with `keepNames: true` hardcoded in
|
|
its transform options. That setting makes esbuild wrap named function/class
|
|
declarations in a call to a `__name` helper so `fn.name` survives minification
|
|
and bundling. The crash means the helper was missing or shadowed at the call
|
|
site for that module in the affected `tsx`/Node combination, so `__name(...)`
|
|
threw instead of returning the wrapped value.
|
|
|
|
## Current repro check
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node --version
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
node --import tsx src/entry.ts status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Minimal isolated repro (loads only the module from the original stack trace):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node --import tsx scripts/repro/tsx-name-repro.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both commands currently exit cleanly. If either throws `__name is not a
|
|
function` again, capture the exact Node version, `tsx` version
|
|
(`node_modules/tsx/package.json`), and full stack trace before filing upstream.
|
|
|
|
## Workarounds (if the crash returns)
|
|
|
|
- Run dev scripts with Bun instead of `node --import tsx`.
|
|
- Run `pnpm tsgo` for type checking, then run the built output instead of the
|
|
source through `tsx`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm tsgo
|
|
node openclaw.mjs status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Try a different `tsx` version (`pnpm add -D tsx@<version>` is a dependency
|
|
change and needs approval per repo policy) to bisect whether the esbuild
|
|
version it bundles reintroduced the bug.
|
|
- Test on a different Node major/minor to see whether the failure is version
|
|
specific.
