Dynamic import can only be transformed when transforming ES modules to AMD, CommonJS or SystemJS. node:internal/crypto/hash:69

[SeamusMullan]

I got this issue after running npm start on a new react-juce project. unsure what has happened but below is a full copypasta of what was done.

(base) PS B:\DirektDSP\react-juce\packages\react-juce> npm run init -- "C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui"

> [email protected] init
> node scripts/init.js C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui

Initializing a React-JUCE template in: C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui
Directory tree will be created if it does not exist.
[*] Copying template files
[*] Installing dependencies


Success! Initialized a React-JUCE template in C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui

You can now get started by typing:

cd C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui
npm start

Then adding the reactjuce::ReactApplicationRoot component to your project.

(base) PS B:\DirektDSP\react-juce\packages\react-juce> cd "C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui"
(base) PS C:\Users\seamu\OneDrive\Direkt Software\FXBox\Source\jsui> npm start

> [email protected] start
> webpack -w --mode=development


webpack is watching the files…

I'm also having the same issue performing the same steps, we managed to fix it for the GainPlugin by

echo "export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider" > ~/.bash_profile

But for the template generator I get the same errors

Be aware that:

1. You need to source the profile file (either bash or for zsh, depending on the shell you're using).
2. For me, once this option was added, I started to face problems to open VSCode from CLI, so I manually set NODE_OPTIONS="" before run vscode on CLI.

My point is that you might face some drawbacks for other node-based apps you might use and you can solve it by assigning an empty value to this variable in case it happens.
