I am developing a web application using Node.js, Express & Webpack. Everything was going well until Webpack was upgraded to Webpack 5 and lots of bugs appeared. I have managed to solve all the errors but there is a warning I can't solve. I have seen this post but it's related to Angular so I don't think it helps me much: Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted
WARNING in ./node_modules/terser-webpack-plugin/dist/minify.js
Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted
This is my webpack.config.js; resolve fields and node-polyfill-webpack-plugin are used to solve Webpack 5 bugs and errors.
const path = require("path")
const NodePolyfillPlugin = require("node-polyfill-webpack-plugin")
const webpack = require('webpack')
