Update webpack to fix dynamic imports

[cinnamonKale]

In v3.0.1, using webpack@4.29.6, dynamic imports fail. See the issue here. The issue's been fixed since 4.30.0, with the latest current version at 4.35.0

When will react-scripts be updated with the fixed version of webpack? I imagine it's a simple dependency update, but I don't know how the latest version will affect CRA

I didn't realize this issue had been fixed in webpack. Thanks for pointing that out. We'll try and get a new version released in the next few days, provided the webpack upgrade doesn't introduce any other issues.

In case anyone comes across this issue, this won't affect new installs.

If you have an existing install you can try removing node_modules and your lock file, then reinstalling. This will give you the latest Webpack version.

This does not work for our project, the problem is till there.
Downgrading to "react-scripts": "^2.1.8" works,
So we are waiting there, until the next CRA release.

This should work @lucamartini, did you check what Webpack version you had installed?

[lucamartini]

it works with yarn, but not with npm.
@mrmckeb this is webpack after a new install:
react-scripts@3.0.1
└── webpack@4.29.6

That's interesting. And not what I would have expected... it's not ideal, but you could also update package-lock.json to point to the latest version. We're working on the next version now.

@iansu, this might warrant a quick patch-release.

I created a new CRA+TS project a couple days ago. I got react-scripts@3.0.1, and it also explicitly points to webpack@4.29.6, using Yarn 1.16.

Any news on getting this out as an update?
