TypeError: Cannot read property 'browserField' of undefined

I have the following in my gulpfile.js:

    return browserify(entryPoint, { debug: isDevelopment })
      .transform('esmify')

Which leads to the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'browserField' of undefined

I had this issue as well and figured out that I was using a really old version of browserify installed globally (4.1.9 👴). Once I updated to 17.0.0 it worked. From my investigation of the browserify source, this error should go away starting with 5.0.0 though I recommend upgrading to the latest.

Go the same error with latest browserify 17.0.1 and latest esmify. I use command line:

npx browserify index.js -o bundle.js -t esmify --standalone ZenFS

@jcubic , did you by chance you --global-transform / -g rather than --plugin / -p?
