ReferenceError: process is not defined (Docusaurus)

See original GitHub issue

Hi. I was testing sandpack-react with Docusaurus, but there’s a fatal error as soon as I import a sandpack component:

client.js?e6b8:10 Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: process is not defined

Made a repro repo here, but it’s basically the default docusaurus template with this added to pages/index.js:

import { SandpackRunner } from "@codesandbox/sandpack-react";

const CustomSandpack = () => <SandpackRunner />;

Using version 0.0.6.

wow, nice research @JayaKrishnaNamburu! thanks for taking the time!

On our side we can remove the usage of process in sandpack-client and rely on props when setting up storybook or anything else to run with a local bundler, but we would still have the issue from codemirror I guess.
