Webpack changing .call(this) to .call(undefined) when packing RxJs

   February 23, 2021  1 Comment on Webpack changing .call(this) to .call(undefined) when packing RxJs

I’m using CycleJs, which uses RxJs. The dist/rx.all.js looks like this:

;(function(undefined) {...}.call(this));

Webpack is rewriting it as this:

;(function(undefined) {...}).call(undefined);

Which causes “this” to be undefined when the function is executed, which makes stuff break because of “use strict”

  1. For future readers, I was using babel-loader because my stuff is ES6. It looks like that was the problem, because excluding node_modules made the issue go away.

    module.exports = {
  module:  {
    loaders: [
      {test: /\.js/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: "babel-loader"}
    ]
  }
};
