Octokit on Cloudflare Workers while importing bindings globally throws an error

[ariesclark]

using Octokit on Cloudflare Workers while importing bindings globally errors.

import { env } from "cloudflare:workers";
import { Octokit } from "octokit";

// throws
export const github = new Octokit({
	auth: env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
});

with the following error:

Uncaught Error: Disallowed operation called within global scope. Asynchronous I/O (ex: fetch() or connect()), setting a timeout, and generating random values are not allowed within global scope. To fix this error, perform this operation within a handler. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/handlers/

Workaround

import { env } from "cloudflare:workers";
import { Octokit } from "octokit";

// exclude the "throttling" plugin.
// see https://github.com/octokit/plugin-throttling.js/issues/794
Octokit.plugins = Octokit.plugins.filter((plugin) => plugin.name !== "throttling");

export const github = new Octokit({
	auth: env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
});

From what I've gathered from the very sub-optimal minimal stack trace information, it's not an issue with Octokit directly but one with the Bottleneck dependency which is unmaintained

Then maybe you should consider replacing it :)

[wolfy1339]

I have already considered replacing it, I however don't know if any alternatives that have the same features.

If you can implement a PR with a replacement, I will happily accept it.

Until then, please note that GitHub is not investing in open-source projects like Octokit and actions.js currently and that I am simply a community maintainer (volunteer; not a GitHub employee) doing what I can to help out.
