Cannot resolve module fs

[rspt]

Hello!

I ran into this error just after installing the wpcom lib (via npm) and trying to bundle it using webpack:

ERROR in ./~/wpcom/dist/lib/site.media.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'fs' in /Users/xxx/client/node_modules/wpcom/dist/lib
 @ ./~/wpcom/dist/lib/site.media.js 4:9-22

Note this error disappear if I install the fsmodule via npm

Here is an webpack issue talking about. You could add "browser": { "fs": false } to solve it.

I can assert that adding this to my project's main webpack.config.js did the trick

  node: {
    fs: 'empty'
  },

Yes thanks a lot for the answer. It still seems to me a little bit odd to add something in my config or to install a package to make one works!
