fetchProfile() doesn't return NDKUserProfile on first load

[mmalmi]

On the first load, user.fetchProfile doesn't return NDKUserProfile, but an object which has pubkey, profile and created_at properties. On consecutive loads, it returns the NDKUserProfile correctly.

const user = ndk().getUser({pubkey: pubKeyHex})
console.log("Fetching profile for", pubKeyHex)
let profile = await user.fetchProfile({closeOnEose: false})
console.log("Profile fetched", JSON.stringify(profile), profile)
 console.log("profile image", profile?.image)
if (profile && profile.image) {
  console.log("Setting profile image", profile.image)
  setImage(profile.image)
  handleProfile(pubKeyHex, profile)
}

Output:

hey I ran into the same issue. I see in dev tools that event kind 0 gets fetched but in javascript the profile isn't loaded. I saw your comment and duplicated the line and voila, the profile is fetched.

Now, I would like at least try to fix that or debug whats going on. But I am not a frontend dev and struggling with npm stuff too much. How do you load your project with local lib (ndk repo in this case)? I added the path to my package.json:

but when running the app (in svelte), here is what I see:

I am trying a relative path too and I am sure the path is 100% correct. Could there be something I have to add to ndk library to make it available? I have no idea what is that main/module/exports thing.. I assume Pablo will be too busy with many other things these days, maybe we can find the solution for this and open a PR
