Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting this warning in the console: ./node_modules/@0x/utils/node_modules/ethers/dist/ethers.min.js Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

I’m importing into my files the following:

import { Contract } from '@ethersproject/contracts';
import { Web3Provider } from '@ethersproject/providers';

I’m using Next.js.

Any idea as to why I’m getting this error?

I’m getting the exact same error: ./node_modules/ethers/dist/ethers.min.js Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

while ethers is correctly installed in my project root package json.

I’m also using Next.js.

Can you give a code snippet of how you are importing ethers in your project?
