@angular-architects/module-federation version 14.3.0 unhandled exception occurred with webpack.config.js

[jhohlman]

When upgrading from @angular-architects/module-federation 14.2.3 to 14.3.0 I am seeing an error (pasted below) when trying to serve the application now.

Generating browser application bundles (phase: setup)...An unhandled exception occurred: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received an instance of Object See "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-1b2NOF\angular-errors.log" for further details.

Inside the error log it contains a stack that seems to point to our webpack.config.js as the cause of the error. I pasted what is inside the error log file below:

I also pasted what I have in my webpack.config.js below. This error showed up with no changes being made to the webpack.config.js. It just started once we saw the upgrade to the @angular-architects/module-federation 14.3.0 version

const { share,  withModuleFederationPlugin, = require('@angular-architects/module-federation/webpack');

module.exports = withModuleFederationPlugin({
  remotes: { },

  shared: share({
    '@angular/core': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
    '@angular/common': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
    '@angular/common/http': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
    '@angular/router': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
    '@okta/okta-angular': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
    '@okta/okta-auth-js': { singleton: true, strictVersion: true, requiredVersion: 'auto', },
  }),

  sharedMappings: ['auth-lib'],
});

I'm following this article because we want a solution where we don't need to hardcode the URL for the remoteEntry.js file.

To fix this error do we need to adjust how the webpack.config.js file is configured?
