Common Causes of JavaScript Compilation Issues in Pega Text File Rules

The issue you're experiencing is likely related to one of the following:

1. Module System Incompatibility: LangChain uses ES Modules, while Pega's Text File Rule execution environment might be expecting CommonJS format. This often results in "Cannot use import statement outside a module" errors.
2. Import Syntax Errors: The modern ES import syntax (import { something } from '@langchain/core') may not be supported in the Pega JavaScript environment.
3. Missing Dependencies: LangChain requires several npm packages that need to be available in the execution context.

Recommended Solutions

Solution 1: Use CommonJS Import Syntax

Instead of ES Module imports, try using CommonJS require statements:

// Instead of:

// import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

// Use:

const LangChain = require('@langchain/core');

const OpenAI = require('@langchain/openai');

Solution 2: Bundle Libraries Before Importing

Pre-bundle LangChain and its dependencies using a tool like Webpack or Rollup, then include the bundled file in your Pega application:

1. Create a bundle file outside Pega using:
2. npm install @langchain/core @langchain/openai
3. npx webpack --config webpack.config.js
4. Add the resulting bundle as a Text File Rule, and reference it in your other JavaScript files.

Solution 3: Use IIFE Format Libraries

Look for IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) versions of LangChain libraries which can be directly included without import statements.

Solution 4: Check JavaScript Version Compatibility

Ensure your Text File Rule settings are configured to support modern JavaScript:

1. Navigate to Dev Studio > Create > Technical > Text File
2. Configure the text file with:
   • Appropriate Label
   • App Name (Directory): webwb
   • File Type (extension): js

Then add your JavaScript code to the main tab, ensuring it uses syntax compatible with the JavaScript environment Pega supports.

Additional Considerations

• LangChain may require external API access. Ensure your Pega environment has the necessary network permissions to reach these services.
• Consider creating a custom JavaScript wrapper that adapts LangChain's functionality to be more compatible with Pega's JavaScript environment.
• If possible, implement the LLM integration directly using the APIs that LangChain is using under the hood, as this might be more straightforward in the Pega environment.
