Webpack gives error while bundling modules having "main", "module" or "js:next" attributes set to "." in their package.json

[aakashkharche04]

Let us assume I am using a module named do-something in my package.json as a dependency. This module has package.json with entry attributes like

"main": ".",
"module": ".",
"jsnext:main": ".",

While doing bundling for this module through webpack, I get this error
Module not found: Error: Recursion in resolving

I am in an assumption that, the "main": "." attribute path will resolve to "main": "index.js"
I am suspecting webpack is calling do-something module folder again and again.

I investigated more and it is coming from enhanced-resolve package that webpack uses for resolving paths. I use webpack major version 2 "webpack": "^2.4.0"

But I have tried with the latest webpack version as well, it still does not work. Is there a way in webpack to bundle these kinds of dependent modules?

@webpack-bot move to webpack/enhanced-resolve

Looks like a bug.

I've moved it to webpack/enhanced-resolve.
