ts-loader can't load Typescript with any version > 5.0.4 #1635
Description
This is the webpack config file I am using :
var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require('path');
const TerserPlugin = require('terser-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
mode: 'production',
entry: './src/index.ts',
target: 'node',
output: {
filename: 'app.js',
libraryTarget: 'commonjs2',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
},
devtool: 'source-map',
optimization: {
minimize: true,
minimizer: [new TerserPlugin()],
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
},
module: {
rules: [
// all files with a `.ts` or `.tsx` extension will be handled by `ts-loader`
{ test: /\.tsx?$/, loader: 'ts-loader' },
],
},
};
Expected Behaviour
Running webpack --config ./webpack.config.js with any Typescript version > 5.0.4 should pass
Actual Behaviour
This is what I get when I try running webpack with any Typescript version > 5.0.4 :
Error: Could not load TypeScript. Try installing with yarn add typescript or npm install typescript. If TypeScript is installed globally, try using yarn link typescript or npm link typescript.
However, this works with any version <= 5.0.4, so, I am not sure what would be the workaround for this.
