Webpack error when attemping to use custom build

[edwardhorsford]

Description

I'm just adding exifreader to a personal project. I'm testing doing a custom build to see if it improves the speed of reading data (feel free to tell me it doesn't!).

I've added the below to my package.json:

"exifreader": {
    "include": {
      "jpg": true,
      "png": true,
      "tiff": true,
      "heic": true,
      "webp": true,
      "gif": true,
      "file": true,
      "png_file": true,
      "exif": [
        "Model",
        "Lens",
        "LensModel",
        "ExposureTime",
        "FNumber",
        "FocalLengthIn35mmFilm",
        "ISOSpeedRatings",
        "DateTimeOriginal",
        "CreateDate",
        "ModifyDate",
        "By-line",
        "Copyright Notice",
        "Rating",
        "GPSDateStamp",
        "GPSTimeStamp",
        "GPSAltitude",
        "Image Width",
        "ImageWidth",
        "Image Height",
        "ImageHeight"
      ]
    }
  },

When I run npm install exifreader I get the following error:

npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c node bin/build.js --only-with-config
npm ERR! CLI for webpack must be installed.
npm ERR!   webpack-cli (https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli)
npm ERR!
npm ERR! We will use "npm" to install the CLI via "npm install -D webpack-cli".
npm ERR! Do you want to install 'webpack-cli' (yes/no): node:child_process:960
npm ERR!     throw err;
npm ERR!     ^
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Error: Command failed: npx [email protected]

I've also tried installing the webpack-cli as per the error and that had no effect.

Additional details

• ExifReader version: latest
• Web browser and version:
• Node version: 20

What I expected would happen:

Expect npm install to succeed. It works fine if I remove the custom stuff from my package.json.

What really happened:

NPM install fails.
