Configuration

{
  "presets": [],
  "plugins": [
    [
      "polyfill-corejs3",
      {
        "method": "usage-pure"
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Current and expected behavior

Webpack build fails. It should not fail.

Environment

System:
    OS: macOS 12.4
  Binaries:
    Node: 16.14.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v16.14.0/bin/node
    Yarn: 1.22.17 - /usr/local/bin/yarn
    npm: 8.3.1 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v16.14.0/bin/npm
  npmPackages:
    @babel/core: 7.16.10 => 7.16.10 
    babel-loader: 8.2.5 => 8.2.5 
    babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3: 0.5.2 => 0.5.2 
    webpack: 5.73.0 => 5.73.0

I'm also on webpack-cli 4.8.0.

Possible solution

No response

Additional context

Downgrading to @babel/core@7.16.7 or lower fixes the issue.
Upgrading to webpack-cli 4.10.0 also fixes the issue. Because of this, I'm not sure if this is a babel issue, an issue with the plugin, or an issue with Webpack CLI.

I'm mostly making this issue so that if someone else runs into this, they will know they can update webpack-cli to fix the issue.

This is a webpack-cli bug, that didn't allow using dynamic imports in any code that runs during the build project: webpack/webpack-cli#1274
