[SOLVED] Webpack: Error in window is not defined during deploy with “window” used in necessary node modules

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Bug

What is the current behavior?
“Error in window is not defined” in main.js file during deploy.
I am not using “window” in my code and node_modules using it are all necessary so i have to use them.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
There aren’t much steps to describe. I simply get this error, but this doesn’t provide me more infos…
Error blinks up during execution of “node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js –mode=production –env.prod” command.

What is the expected behavior?
It should execute the command without any problem.
What can I do if window is used inside some necessary node_modules?

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version, and Operating System.
