v5 Regression react-error-overlay build - Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined

I use following command to start: npm run start

Then, whenever I save a file, I get the following “Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined” error in the browser console.

react-scripts 4.0.3 npm 6.14.8 node v14.18.1 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC amd64

The project compiles just fine, but the hot reloading seems to be erroring.

I have no problem with react-scripts 3

Isnt process a node environment variable? How does it end up in the browser?

Does ‘rm -rf node_modules’ and then npm/yarn install resolve the issue?

same here… Hot reload continues to work, but the page becomes unresponsive. Can’t click or do anything unless you do a manual refresh.
