Error in ./~/xmlhttprequest/lib/XMLHttpRequest.js Module not found: 'child_process'

This is probably not a problem with create-react-app, but it concerns webpack config and I want to avoid ejecting.

I encountered a major regression in the repository: so far everything was good, now npm start fails after a clean install, on every branch, at every user, every environment (windows-macOS local, jenkins, cloud linux), even after npm cache clear, and even going back any commits (git checkout HEAD~50), so I guess it might be some npm cache problem.

Anyone any ideas?

Looks like you've linked something inside of src/. If you remove the symlink does it work?

Or you're depending on a package not in your package.json, maybe.

Turned out it is an issue of the D3.js dependency's latest version, it breaks webpack d3/d3-request#24
