Error started showing up after upgrading caniuse-lite from 1.0.30001214 to 1.0.30001219. In latest version there is no safari 13.1, ios_saf 13.* and samsung 12 anymore

Workaround

add samsung 12.0 to .browserslistrc (thanks to skirtle on discord)

[runarberg]

This just happened to me using my own private package as a dependency which didn’t transpile the optional chaining away.

I fixed it by adding it to the transpileDependencies option in vue.config.js:

  transpileDependencies: ['@my-scope/my-package'],

[skirtles-code]

Here’s what I think is happening:

1. When building the modern bundle, samsung 12.0 was the only browser that needed ?. and ?? to be transpiled.
2. Upgrading caniuse-lite is removing samsung 12.0 from the browsers list as it’s no longer in the last 2 versions.
3. Babel (or maybe TS, not sure) is no longer transpiling ?. and ??.
4. webpack 4 is using Acorn 6 to parse JavaScript files. This occurs after they’ve been through the loaders. It doesn’t support those operators, so the build fails.

I believe this issue in the webpack repo is discussing effectively the same problem: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/10227
