Backports #6956 to release-drink
A proposal for fixing #4359. Sets
ignoreGlobal: true
option forrollup-plugin-commonjs
plugin, turning off its handling of theglobal
keyword in CommonJS modules, and upgrades the plugin to the latest version (because the option didn't work properly in the previous one). In particular, it stops transforming top-levelthis
reference into a variable that contains thetypeof global
check (which consequently triggered Webpack issues).One consequence of the fix is that GL JS will throw a runtime error when it encounters a reference to the
global
keyword. However, there are no such instances in the bundle currently — the only real reference I found (in the browserified nodeassert
module) gets treeshaken away because it's in unused methods. So in theory this fix won't bring much trouble unless we plan on using Node-targeted modules with theglobal
keyword in future.Thanks a lot to @Aendrew who provided a minimal repro that helped me find this fix.
