Do you want to request a feature, report a bug or ask a question? report a bug What is the current behavior?

Module build failed (from /xxx/node_modules/_svg-sprite-loader@4.1.6@svg-sprite-loader/lib/loader.js):
TypeError: Cannot read property 'require' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/xxxx/node_modules/_svg-sprite-loader@4.1.6@svg-sprite-loader/lib/utils/get-webpack-version.js:2:37)

My webpack config

{
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: require.resolve('svg-sprite-loader'),
            options: {
              symbolId: 'icon-[name]',
            },
          }
        ],
      }

import './icons/prompt.svg';

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

Please tell us about your environment:

• Node.js version: v8.12.0
• webpack version: 4.41.2
• svg-sprite-loader version: 4.1.6
• OS type & version: Mac 10.14.6

Other information get-webpack-version.js use require replace require.main, it works.

Stumbled on a different instantiation of the same bug: due to the implementation of get-webpack-version.js, the webpack configuration file setting in PyCharm (and I'm guessing WebStorm) is failing. Ironically, all related software is developed by JetBrains. Changing the require.main by require in the referenced file fixes the problem for me.

Made a PR for that here https://github.com/JetBrains/svg-sprite-loader/pull/382

Should be fixed in svg-sprite-loader@4.2.6
