Webpack dependency warnings in 0.3.22

Hey,

after upgrading to 0.3.22 I get two webpack warnings, that I’ve never seen before. I’m using create-react-app to build my React app.

Compiled with warnings.

./node_modules/peerjs/dist/peerjs.min.js
Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

./node_modules/peerjs/dist/peerjs.min.js
Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Unfortunately there are no line numbers in the output and I don’t know enough about the webpack process to narrow this down. Also googling leads to many different causes for these warnings. Can anyone point me in the right direction, where these warnings come from?

Thanks!

It is probably coming from how parcel is bundling the package and dependencies, it is probably doing something like require(package) where:

for(p of packages){
  require(p)
}

And webpack don’t like that because he cannot find which dependency is trying to be loaded.

Anyway webpack shouldn’t be analyzing node_modules. So yes, it comes from webpack, but it is probably caused by the create-react-app’s webpack configuration.

So you may fix it if you do an eject and plays with the webpack configuration.

PD: if you have time, I recommend you to try to switch to parcel, I’ve moved enormous projects with tons of webpack plugins into parcel in a matter of 2-3 days. (I know parcel very well)

I’m closing this as the issue is not in PeerJS
