I am taking a course on Udemy (it is Brad Schiff's React for the Rest of Us course here) that is based on React and I am receiving an error related to webpack which is keeping it from compiling.
I am getting the following error as I am trying to compile my webpack file from a Udemy course I am taking... here is a picture of the error I am receiving on my terminal: please view it here
Here is the text of the error but please view the link for more details as a screenshot nonetheless:
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'path' in '/Users/seanmodd/Development/2021/BradSchiff/Frontend/node_modules/webpack/lib/util'
BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.
If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
- add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "path": require.resolve("path-browserify") }'
- install 'path-browserify'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
resolve.fallback: { "path": false }
@ ./node_modules/webpack/lib/CleanPlugin.js 12:17-37
@ ./node_modules/webpack/lib/index.js 115:9-33
@ ./node_modules/dotenv-webpack/dist/index.js 12:15-33
@ ./node_modules/dotenv-webpack/browser.js 1:13-38
@ ./app/components/HomeGuest.js 5:15-40
@ ./app/Main.js 8:0-47 38:96-105They have removed automatic polyfills in webpack 5. We have to include them ourselves. More info here
