I was able to use some of the other spectrum-web-components packages successfully, unsure what is different about this one.

    "@spectrum-web-components/shared": "^1.0.1",
    "@spectrum-web-components/styles": "^1.0.1",
    "@spectrum-web-components/theme": "^1.0.1",
    "@spectrum-web-components/top-nav": "^1.0.1",

these certainly work with both pnpm and npm. unsure about others.

I'm happy to submit a bug to the Spectrum guys, but the error message from Greenwood doesn't really give me enough detail to know what to submit. I imagine the package is malformed in someway, but I'm not sure what it expects to be a string that its getting an object for instead.

Thanks for this report, though my initial hunch is that this one might be on Greenwood as I ran into something similar when playing around with Shoelace. My plan there, and for this and in general, is to better flesh out our support for package.json exports field.

This kind of work is definitely at the top of our priority queue so give me a little time and then hopefully we can unlock even more support for a much wider set of ecosystem packages.

It might be worth trying to move this dep to devDependencies and use full paths to the dependency file from your code and see if that works as an interim work around (basically bypassing the import map, but depends on how many transitive deps it references🤞 )

cool, well if you need more information, I can try to gather it.

thank you! will keep posted on progress here and let you know.
