Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

[arolson101]

I'm using webpack 2 and getting these 2 warnings:

WARNING in ../~/jsondiffpatch/src/main.js
56:20-50 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

WARNING in ../~/jsondiffpatch/src/main.js
61:19-47 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

the lines in question are:

  var packageInfoModuleName = '../package.json';
  var packageInfo = require(packageInfoModuleName);

and

  var formatterModuleName = './formatters';
  var formatters = require(formatterModuleName);

Would it be possible to inline the strings and call require('../package.json') instead?

You can try this config for webpack: #76 (comment)

Feel free to use this workaround in your package.json until #164 is merged:

"jsondiffpatch": "cooperka/jsondiffpatch#ba25ec9e7fb1684dfb0b5a8be3b1763bd9ab9348"

this has been fixed recently (started using rollbar and prebuilt /dist bundles)
