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

See original GitHub issue

I have been setting up swc with webpack. There is a package I use for linting – eslint-config-react-app. This has a dependency on babel-plugin-macros. I get the following warning on starting the dev server.

Webpack version is 5.75 WARNING in ./node_modules/babel-plugin-macros/dist/index.js 75:22-29 Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted Looks like it is caused due to the way require is being used in this plugin. Not sure how to get rid of this warning.

babel-plugin-macros version: 3.1.0
node version: 18.12.1
npm version: 8.19.2

I removed all dependencies of babel and it’s related packages to avoid any potential conflicts between swc and babel but the warning is still present.

I don’t know, because I don’t know why it is parsing them.
