problem when bundling with webpack #13
Description
requiring babel-register is causing trouble when bundling this package using webpack for lambdas: https://github.com/arthanzel/evaluatex/blob/master/index.js#L8
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'babel-register' in 'app/node_modules/evaluatex'
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './src/evaluatex' in 'app/node_modules/evaluatex'
can we only keep the transpiled code? and avoid transpiling on the fly?

Could you post an example of a project where it's failing? Admittedly, it's an ancient loader but doing
npm install evaluatexshould be downloading only transpiled code, not the sources. Requiringbabel-registeris a development aid and it shouldn't normally be called.sibelius commentedon Jan 11, 2021
I've made a tiny example here https://github.com/sibelius/evaluatex-webpack

I suspect that Webpack is optimistically trying to resolve
babel-loaderby statically analyzing the loader inevaluatex/index.js. With this change, it appears to compile:A lot has changed in transpiling/bundling since the original Evaluatex was written and the way it is loaded is not the way to do things anymore. While theoretically I might be able to remove the loader entirely and make
package.json:mainpoint todist/evaluatex.jsunconditionally, I don't want to do that until I've written some tests that ensure the library is compiled well for server, browser, and bundlers. I hope that this is an acceptable workaround until then.I'll keep this issue open for now.
