rollup-plugin-executable-output

library1.3.0jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin (v1.3.0, stable) that applies chmod 755 to output files, making them executable. Designed to work alongside rollup-plugin-preserve-shebang for CLI scripts. Unlike older plugins like rollup-plugin-chmod, it correctly handles multiple outputs per bundle and uses Rollup's generateBundle hook. Minimal dependencies; requires Rollup >=1.0.0. Release cadence is low; last update 2022. Key differentiator: no bugs when used with multiple outputs or code splitting.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import executable from 'rollup-plugin-executable-output'

✗ const executable = require('rollup-plugin-executable-output')

ESM-only; no CommonJS export. Use import syntax.

executable

✓ import executable from 'rollup-plugin-executable-output'

Default export is the plugin function; no named export.

TypeScript usage

✓ // No types included; use @types/rollup or declare module

Package does not ship TypeScript definitions; may need custom module declaration.

Minimal Rollup config making a CLI bundle executable, with shebang preservation.

// rollup.config.js import executable from 'rollup-plugin-executable-output'; import shebang from 'rollup-plugin-preserve-shebang'; export default { input: 'src/cli.js', output: { file: 'dist/cli.js', format: 'cjs', }, plugins: [shebang(), executable()], };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin only applies chmod 755 to outputs generated by Rollup; it does not handle files copied by other plugins (e.g., rollup-plugin-copy).

fix

Use a dedicated chmod utility or post-build script for external files.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin must be placed after other output-modifying plugins (e.g., shebang) in the plugins array to ensure the final output is made executable.

fix

Order plugins so executable() is last among those that modify output.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaDoes not work with Rollup's 'output.dir' option for multiple chunks; only intended for single-file outputs via 'output.file'.

fix

Use only 'output.file' or consider 'rollup-plugin-chmod' for directories.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedNo active development; last update 2022. May not support Rollup 4+ hooks if they change.

fix

Pin Rollup to version 3 or test compatibility.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: The plugin 'rollup-plugin-executable-output' is not compatible with Rollup 4. Upgrade to Rollup 3 or use a different plugin.

Rollup 4 deprecated the 'generateBundle' hook signature used by older versions.

fix

Use Rollup 3.x or switch to 'rollup-plugin-chmod' which may have been updated.

TypeError: executable is not a function

Importing named export 'executable' instead of default export.

fix

Use 'import executable from ...'

Error: [plugin: executable] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fileName')

Using 'output.dir' with multiple chunks; plugin expects single file output.

fix

Use 'output.file' or avoid using this plugin with directory output.
