Checking whether require is defined, interpretted as require('.')

[jshbrntt]

What is the current behavior?

Webpack compiles the following

var _nodeRequire = (AMDLoader.global.require || require);

Into the following:

var _nodeRequire = (AMDLoader.global.require || !(function webpackMissingModule() { var e = new Error("Cannot find module \".\""); e.code = 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'; throw e; }()));

Presumably resolving require to require('.') incorrectly.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Attempt to import the following module.

// module.js
if (require && true) {
  console.log('test')
}

module.exports = true

You should end up with this error.

Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

What is the expected behavior?

I would expect webpack to ignore everything except a call of require.

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version and Operating System.

• Node.js 8.1.0
• Webpack 2.6.1
