Server side build is failing due to 'window is not defined'

[hirenoble]

I'm seeing an issue building a Gatsby site which uses this package to generate code sample.
WebpackError: ReferenceError: window is not defined

This is because of this line of code

var MultiPartForm = require('form-data')

any help would be appreciated!

we recently updated this npm, form-data from 3.0.0 to 4.0.0. Please give it another try if you can. There is a low likelihood that we can do anything about this 3rd party code, but it seems like form-data/form-data#485 (comment) is an example of the same thing happening to someone else (completely with a solution. If nothing else (and you can try this before upgrading) I would try that solution in form-data/form-data#485 (comment) first.

Let us know if you can find reproduction steps and we can reopen.
