Example of misbehaving json module import

Primary LanguageJavaScript

import * as a from './config.json'

This repo shows various cases around webpack processing import * as for json-modules.

$ yarn
$ rm -rf dist && webpack

Once built, node dist/entry2/index.js would print undefined, even though I'd expect "testid".

Under some circumstances (with larger modules and more dependencies) webpack kick ModuleConcatenationPlugin in, which considers json imports as "external" and then instead of undefined one'd actually get the right thing (I'll try to make another example, haven't succeeded in making an isolated example outside of my project yet).
