Webpack Module Federation - no version specified

[w-komor]

Hi!

In my setup, @mobiscroll\angular-ivy@5.29.1 is a shared singleton in Webpack Module Federation.

I'm getting the following console warning:

No version specified and unable to automatically determine one. No version in description file (usually package.json). Add version to description file <my-project>\node_modules\@mobiscroll\angular-ivy\dist\esm5\package.json, or manually specify version in shared config.

The issue is that Webpack doesn't go upstream to @mobiscroll/angular-ivy/package.json to get the MobiScroll version.

The solution is to add the version number to dist/esm5/package.json at build time.

This issue in Webpack may be relevant.

For anyone needing a temporary workaround to get rid of the console warning in your production app, add requiredVersion: '*' to your Module Federation options for @mobiscroll/angular-ivy
