An attempt to reproduce the following error when using webpack + opentelemetry:

open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js#4173 WebPack error: Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

current status

Obviously I'm missing something in my attempt to reproduce. My webpack build works:

% npm run build

> repro-webpack-dep-expr@1.0.0 build
> webpack

Running by bundle fails, but I believe that is not the issue at hand.

% npm start
