For webpack user, adding :

plugins: [
     new webpack.DefinePlugin({ "global.GENTLY": false })
],

fix the issue.

Apologies for polluting the thread, but for anyone landing on this and still having issues afterwards who happens to be using superagent, note they have a wiki page saying what to do

[…] you can either use superagent’s browser version directly (require('superagent/lib/client')), or fix your Webpack settings:

Add:

plugins.push(new webpack.DefinePlugin({ "global.GENTLY": false }));

and

node: {
  __dirname: true,
}

I also added the following, for good measure:

    alias: {
      'inherits': 'inherits/inherits_browser.js',
      'superagent': 'superagent/lib/client',
      'emitter': 'component-emitter',
    },

This cost me more time than I’d like to admit (oh look at that, it’s just gone midnight), so posting here in the hopes it helps someone else since I landed on this page early on in my search…
