Uncaught ReferenceError: window is not defined

[octave]

When using @segment/[email protected] in a @shopify/[email protected] application, deploying fails after building with this error:

 Uncaught ReferenceError: window is not defined  
   at worker.mjs:5087:5433                                                  
   at worker.mjs:5087:17531   

After investigating the worker.mjs the issue seems to be coming from analytics.js-video-plugins that is being added at the end of the worker.mjs file, even though I only import AnalyticsBrowser:

import {AnalyticsBrowser} from '@segment/analytics-next';

It works fine in development but it fails to deploy. Is it possible to not have analytics.js-video-plugins added to the build?

@octave There is no current way to exclude analytics.js-video-plugins.

The window object is assumed to be available. Disabling this plugin probably wouldn't be sufficient, as fixing this error would probably just mean another error appears in another plugin.

If you want to test simply disabling it, you can use this (unstable, use at your own risk API):

  analytics.load({ writeKey: 'foo' }, {
    updateCDNSettings: (unstableSettings) => {
      unstableSettings.legacyVideoPluginsEnabled = false
      return settings
  } })

@silesky got it, I ended up reverting to using the script tag directly, this way it doesn't get bundled in the app and so the deployment works. Thanks!
