This issue is somewhat explained in https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/4039. Specifically this comment from webpack’s author https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/4039#issuecomment-273804003 states that ES6’s import statements and CommonJS’s module.exports assignments cannot be mixed. After some recent changes, module.exports has value undefined and is read-only when it comes to webpack.

A quick and dirty workaround is to remove modules: false option from the babel presets in the dependent project’s config. BUT this change disables the tree-shaking offered by webpack 2, so not a great solution.

Will try to make a pull request with the migration to webpack 2, but no promises. 😉

This is great, thank you for those precious info!

By the way, v4 is being delayed for the time being (vacations + working on complex rewrites will not help speed things up 😉), so you have some time to try to create a PR if you want 😃

Thanks again!
