Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m developing a desktop app with Electron + React and I want to obfuscate my code. I’m facing an issue when I add a JavaScriptObfuscator on my plugins queue: on the served html page I have an error saying

main.js:1 Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

This happens independently from the obfuscator options except for empty options. The one I’m trying right now is the following (which should be the “Low obfuscation, High performance”) :

new JavaScriptObfuscator ({
    compact: false,
    controlFlowFlattening: false,
    deadCodeInjection: false,
    debugProtection: false,
    debugProtectionInterval: false,
    disableConsoleOutput: true,
    identifierNamesGenerator: 'hexadecimal',
    log: false,
    renameGlobals: false,
    rotateStringArray: true,
    selfDefending: true,
    stringArray: true,
    stringArrayEncoding: false,
    stringArrayThreshold: 0.75,
    unicodeEscapeSequence: false
}, [])

To be more clear here is my webpack.config.js (I use Webpack 4.1.1):

const HtmlWebPackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const JavaScriptObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');
const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "babel-loader"
        }
      },
      {
        test: /\.html$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "html-loader",
            options: { minimize: true }
          }
        ]
      },

      {
        test: /\.css$/,
            loader: 'style-loader!css-loader?modules=true&localIdentName=[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]'
      }

    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new JavaScriptObfuscator ({
    compact: false,
    controlFlowFlattening: false,
    deadCodeInjection: false,
    debugProtection: false,
    debugProtectionInterval: false,
    disableConsoleOutput: true,
    identifierNamesGenerator: 'hexadecimal',
    log: false,
    renameGlobals: false,
    rotateStringArray: true,
    selfDefending: true,
    stringArray: true,
    stringArrayEncoding: false,
    stringArrayThreshold: 0.75,
    unicodeEscapeSequence: false
    }, []),

    new HtmlWebPackPlugin({
      template: "./src/index.html",
      filename: "./index.html"
    }),
    new ExtractTextPlugin("./styles.css")
  ]
};
