Webpack: Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

[ivansglazunov]

pson/index.js

May be problem here.

var path = require("path"),
 PSON = require(path.join(__dirname, "dist", "PSON.js"));

webpack:

17:11-59 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression
 @ ./node_modules/pson/index.js

Does not allow to compile projects with webpack / browserify because of the calculated dependency. On client: Uncaught Error: Cannot find module "."

How to deal with this?

Need example repo?

Should probably be changed to a relative path then. Feels like this repo was created before webpack became a thing :)

In case anyone else ends up here, this simple tweak to webpack.config.js solved the problem for me:

 resolve: {
 alias: {
 pson: 'pson/dist/PSON.js',
 },
 },
