serverless-bundle v5: TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

[azizur]

I just tried upgrading to v5 I am getting Webpack build failure.

My project does not have a webpack config file. When I remove the plugin from the package it eventually builds. Also when I downgrade to 4.4.0, it works as expected.

Not sure where to raise this issue.

I am using sls webpack command for building locally and on CI/CD server.

Hi,

This is a serverless-webpack issue with webpack >= 5.52.0.

Quick fix would be to lock webpack version to 5.51.2.

@hrougier I assume you mean for the serverless-bundle to downgrade webpack version since my project does not have webpack as explicit dependency.

If you can confirm that this fixes the issue, please submit a PR and I'll cut a release with it.

Hi! Any updates? I am having this exact issue.

[sbhimani-splunk]

For me it worked with webpack version 5.51.2

complete package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "aws-sdk": "^2.978.0",
    "serverless-webpack": "",
    "webpack-node-externals": "",
    "webpack": "5.51.2",
    "babel-loader": "",
    "@babel/core": "",
    "babel-plugin-source-map-support": "",
    "@babel/preset-env": ""
  }
}

[email protected] has been released a couple hours ago, it should fix this issue with webpack >= 5.52.0

Edit: one would need to submit a PR to bump [email protected] in serverless-bundle, sorry I only use serverless-webpack not serverless-bundle but glad to help!

[panchosoft]

Same issue here. As others have mentioned, it seems that [email protected] corrects the issue with webpack 5.52.0.

Indeed. By forcing serverless-webpack in package.json to 5.5.4 and runnining yarn I could finally run sls deploy without errors.
