Error: Webpack compilation error

[sivadgit]

We are using Redis cache in our Node JS Typescript Lambda API. Also we using webpack to run or build the API. While running the API we get Webpack compilation error . Please find the details below

ERROR in ./node_modules/redis/dist/index.js Module parse failed: Unexpected token (27:4) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type. | __exportStar(require("@node-redis/time-series"), exports);

Environment:

• Node.js Version: nodejs14.x
• Redis Server Version: 6.2.5
• Node Redis Version:^4.0.4
• Platform: Windows 10

@sivadgit you can include your webpack configuration. Where do you run Lambda API? Why do you have to transpile the files? :thinking:

I'm facing a similar problem: this is my webpack configuration:

module.exports = config => {
  return {
    ...config,
    externals: [
      {
        'aws-sdk': 'aws-sdk',
        'bufferutil': 'bufferutil',
        'utf-8-validate': 'utf-8-validate',
      },
    ],
    output: {
      ...config.output,
    },
  };
};

Why are you trying to use it with webpack?

    ],
    output: {

    },
  };
};

Please upgrade to latest version of Webpack and try again.

Do you solve the problem?

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/9468#issuecomment-694191642 seems to have solved mine

[dannyk03]

node v14 does not work with the latest version of node-redis. Please use node v12 or v16.

optional chaining is part of webpack5 (see: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/10227#issuecomment-642734920) upgrading to webpack5 fixed for me

[daniellizik]

i can't upgrade to webpack v5 with razzle
