Problems building for IE11

[philippsiegmund]

Summary

Hey there! I have problems building our page for IE11. But there seem to more underlying issues as well and I think it comes from webpack or ES6 in modules or similar. While starting with 'gatsby develop' I get 'WeakSet' not found, so I started manipulating with .babelrc and core-js, I tried core-js2 and 3, in devDependecies, in dependencies, I tried to change the webpack config, and currently I get the page builded on IE11 without google fonts, without Lottie animations, because gatsby mistakenly taken those as Graph Data.

I also found an open PR, which seems to modify the webpack config for ES6 modules, but currently I am happy for any input!

Best regards,

Philipp!

I get 'WeakSet' not found

This seems like something thrown from one of your vendored dependencies (e.g. node_modules). Also - the CoreJS import would seem to need to be weak-set additionally, e.g.

import 'core-js/modules/es.weak-set'

Would you be able to share a reproduction? Even a URL would be helpful, as well.

Thanks!

[philippsiegmund]

Thanks for your reply!! I will try to get a nullified version online, but cannot promise..

I added core-js to the .babelrc, hoping that "some kind of magic" happens... Downgrading i18n-next, up- and downgrading gatsby, gatsby-cli, yarn, no success with my combinations.

The WeakSet problem is minor imho, because this only happens on gatsby develop, but I will try it to minimize any sources of error and chaos.

The .babelrc:

{
  "presets": [
    [
      "@babel/preset-env",
      {
        "loose": true,
        "modules": false,
        "corejs": 2,
        "useBuiltIns": "usage",
        "shippedProposals": true,
        "targets": {
          "browsers": [">0.25%", "not dead"]
        }
      }
    ],
    [
      "@babel/preset-react",
      {
        "useBuiltIns": true,
        "corejs": 2,
        "pragma": "React.createElement"
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": [
    ["@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators", { "legacy": true }],
    [
      "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties",
      {
        "loose": true
      }
    ],
    "@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import",
    "babel-plugin-macros",
    [
      "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
      {
        "helpers": true,
        "regenerator": true
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Another try was to modify the webpack config via gatsby-node.js with something like:

exports.onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ stage, getConfig, actions }) => {
  const config = getConfig()
  switch (stage) {
    case 'build-javascript':
      const app =
        typeof config.entry.app === 'string'
          ? [config.entry.app]
          : config.entry.app
      console.log(config)
      config.entry.app = ['core-js/features/array/from', 'core-js/features/promise', 'core-js/features/set', 'core-js/features/weak-set', ...app]
  }
  actions.replaceWebpackConfig(config)
}

But this led to other problems, where the internet suggested switching to core-js@3, which led to other problems, chasing down the rabbit hole..

We know look for polyfills in node_modules as well.

Ran into this Weakset IE11 issue on Gatsby 2.19.45. Fixed it with gatsby-plugin-compile-es6-packages.

framesync was the module causing trouble for me so my gatsby-config.js entry looked like this and then it worked.

    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-compile-es6-packages`,
      options: {
        modules: [`framesync`],
      },
    },
