Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "node:child_process" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme)

[felixhao28]

Using webpack 5.36.1 results in an error since os-locale 6.0.0

ERROR in node:child_process
Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "node:child_process" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme).
Webpack supports "data:" and "file:" URIs by default.
You may need an additional plugin to handle "node:" URIs.

[sindresorhus]

This is a problem with Webpack. You need to open an issue over there instead.

[felixhao28]

My point is you are using "node:util" instead of "util" which breaks compatibility on older versions of build tools and NodeJS itself.
