Webpack bundle for server side execution not working with superagent

[vlinder]

I get warnings while bundling and a crash when running a webpack bundle with target 'node'.

webpack.config.js:

export default {
    name: 'server',
    target: 'node',
    ...
}

Bundling warnings:

sounds like some webpack issue. Maybe ask them to help

I'm having this same issue. Seeing this when i try using superagent. Any luck with this issue? @vlinder

You can try to fix that issue by adding

plugins: [
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({ "global.GENTLY": false })
],

to your webpack config

[vlinder]

That is what solved my problem.

@tdeheurles do you mind sharing the rest of your config? I'm still running into this issue

[tdeheurles]

I'll try to find... I’m not sure the project is fine. I can’t remind but maybe it’s the one where I finished with babel-cli ...

[tdeheurles]

@davis sorry, have looked to my commit and I can’t find ... Do you run targeting node ?

I got around it by removing some lines from the bundle after building. Inconvenient, but works for now. Thanks though!
