Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'child_process' in ..socket.io about webpack-dev-server HOT 7 CLOSED

Do you have a dynamic require() statement in your modules? Something where you don't pass a static string to require().

from webpack-dev-server.

Same problem here, I don't have dynamic requires.

from webpack-dev-server.

fwiw: I had followed this tutorial line by line when I originally filed the ticket. So no dynamic requires either. http://webpack.github.io/docs/tutorials/getting-started/

from webpack-dev-server.

trying adding this to your config:

node: {
      child_process: 'empty'
    }

@jeberly, we don't use socket.io anymore. Do you still have this issue?

I'm closing this issue because of inactivity. Feel free to comment, and we can always re-open it again.

I am facing same issue when I have added node serialport package in my application

_Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'child_process' in /project/node_modules/serialport/lib/bindings

My application is created using create-react-app and electronjs. I googled it and the solutions mostly suggested are related to webpack config which I can not directly modify in create-react-app. I tried those solutions like adding 'target: node' and external config etc by ejecting create react app but that also did not work.
Befoe adding serialport package it was working properly now it looks up for the child_process package into serialport libs.
Can someone help me out in this?
