Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

[SSmale]

• What went wrong? I am getting the following warning when building my NX Nest.js application

WARNING in ./node_modules/bcrypt/bcrypt.js 6:15-36 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

• What did you expect to happen? no warning message
• Which version of nodejs and OS? node: 12.1.0 os: MacOS 10.15.7
• If you find a bug, please write a failing test. n/a

rm -rfing the node_modules folder and rebuilding seemed to fix this issue.

This is weird. Please feel free to re-open if it happens again.

Hi @agathver I got the same error on Nativescript 6 (with Angular 8) and node 12 rm -rf didn't work. Is bcrypt supported on client side frameworks ?

Below is a part of the logs

@soscler It isn't. If you need hashing in client-side, please use https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcryptjs

Ok thanks.
