4.0.0-next.77 sample app yields "Module not found: Your application tried to access react-refresh" when started with Yarn 2 #9446

Closed

Description

@volodymyr-kushnir

Describe the bug

create-react-app@4.0.0-next.77 yields "Module not found: Your application tried to access react-refresh, but it isn't declared in your dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound." after running yarn start with Yarn 2. Installing react-refresh as dependency solves the problem, tho.

    So if I understand correctly, react-refresh-webpack-plugin basically injects require("react-refresh/runtime"); into every module and then, when webpack asks for it, Yarn 2 thinks that the call is actually coming from my own modules and, since I haven't listed react-refresh as a dependency, it complains.

    It seems like we can't fix it other than adding a note to the README.md asking people, who use Yarn 2, to also install react-refresh. Or we can make it a peer dependency and ask everybody to install it, and that would probably be more semantically correct, I'm not sure.

    So crazy story. Do npm install and then try starting it again. To me, that seems like a bug in Yarn2

    @eddiemonge it works with npm and it works with Yarn 1.22.4 as well, because both of them use node_modules. Yarn 2 on the other hand keeps packages in .yarn/cache and complains if packages try to require modules they didn't list as their dependencies, because, even though it has react-refresh hoisted to the top, modules must explicitly list versions of dependencies they need.
    What I'm saying is that create-react-app 4 won't work with PnP in Yarn 2 unless react-refresh is also listed as a dependency 🤷🏼‍♂️. All other setups would work fine. I'm just curious if anybody has an elegant solution for this specific use case.

    To me, that seems like a bug in Yarn2

    Technically speaking, it is always unsound to import something that you haven't listed in your dependencies. Through hoisting it might work (for example in CRA v3 @babel/core), but importing stuff that was never listed means the installation chain is prone to breakage.

    So if I understand correctly, react-refresh-webpack-plugin basically injects require("react-refresh/runtime"); into every module and then, when webpack asks for it, Yarn 2 thinks that the call is actually coming from my own modules and, since I haven't listed react-refresh as a dependency, it complains.

    Yes, that is the case. We had to do that (kinda like how @babel/runtime works) because there is no other way for us to inject a globally available dependency throughout the bundle without leaking implementation into the actual global scope.

    What I'm saying is that create-react-app 4 won't work with PnP in Yarn 2 unless react-refresh is also listed as a dependency

    To me I think the best resolution to this problem would be to list react-refresh as an installed dependency by default in the templates, and also a peerDependency of react-scripts. While this kinda breaks the "single-dependency" promise, given that we're already shipping RTL as a default in the templates, I don't see how this is problematic.

    I can PR this change (or actually, anyone can do it) - but I'll wait for the maintainers' point of view on this before progressing.

    Hitting this error now. Does react-refresh go into devDependencies, or dependencies?

  11. derekschinke commented on Oct 24, 2020

    @derekschinke

    When I add react-refresh to dependencies, it still doesn't work. I get a new error, Failed to load config "react-app" to extend from.

    Edit: Possible solution! run yarn add react-refresh eslint-config-react-app

    Oh yeah, same.
    4.0.0-next.77 and 4.0.0-next.98 would work, but stable 4.0.0 won't, unless you remove eslintConfig key from your package.json. I haven't figured it out yet, but it seems like react-scripts instructs ESLint to extend the react-app config and it works as long as you don't extend the ESLint config with your own rules, because then react-app is nowhere to be found by ESLint, since normally it would look into node_modules which isn't here, and it can't rely on Yarn, because this config isn't listed in the dependencies either 🤷🏼‍♂️.
    For now I assume it's either going back to Yarn Classic or not extending the default CRA ESLint config ⚖️. Having Yarn 2 is nice. Having a customized linter is also nice. Bummer 😔.

    @volodymyr-kushnir Or you know, enabling the node-modules linker in V2 using yarn config set nodeLinker node-modules or simply adding the missing dependencies using yarn add react-refresh eslint-config-react-app

    So crazy story. Do npm install and then try starting it again. To me, that seems like a bug in Yarn2

    @eddiemonge That's not a solution and it's not an issue in Yarn 2's PnP mode, they are simply undeclared dependencies

    To me I think the best resolution to this problem would be to list react-refresh as an installed dependency by default in the templates, and also a peerDependency of react-scripts. While this kinda breaks the "single-dependency" promise, given that we're already shipping RTL as a default in the templates, I don't see how this is problematic.

    @pmmmwh It would be better for the plugin to resolve the import before injecting it, that way it works no matter what, PR at pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin#230

    @merceyz Plug'n'Play is what I'm after, so node-modules linker is not an option, but adding missing dependencies might be. Followed your advise and did yarn add --exact eslint-config-react-app, but got another error — Resolve error: unable to load resolver "node" import/no-duplicates — so then I've also yarn add --exact eslint-import-resolver-node and it worked 🎉🥳. Thank you very much 👏!

    I just setup create-react-app using Yarn 2 today and I got this error. What is the proposed resolution for this?

    Add it as a dependency until #9872 is merged
