Crash after migrating webpack 4 -> 5 with new JSX transforms

Hello. I’m in the process of migrating from webpack@4 to webpack@5. After doing so, I started getting an uncaught TypeError from why-did-you-render.

I believe this is also connected with the latest React JSX transform (I’m using react@16.14). At the top of the file I have:

import * as React from 'react';

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  const whyDidYouRender = require('@welldone-software/why-did-you-render');
  whyDidYouRender(React);
}

If I revert back to webpack@4 and keep the latest JSX transform - it works. If I keep webpack@5 and revert back to the old React imports - it works. If I use both together - I get the crash above.

Thanks!

Great! I’m closing it for now. I hope I’ll find a way to rewrite esmodule imports later.
