I changed your post to format your code or error message correctly. Please use the </> button above the post input field to format your code or error message or wrap it in ``` (“code fences”) manually. This will make sure your text is readable and if it recognizes the programming language it also automatically adds code syntax highlighting. Thanks.

Search for the “Error” line and the next one here in the forum - I remember multiple posts about exactly this problem.

Also for your next post: Please include ionic info output and the exact command you are running. Thanks.

Did someone create an issue with the Firebase guys about this? They should a) add this themselves or b) change their code so that webpack doesn’t mess up here…
