Property value expected type of string but got null; Dynamic path in dynamic import

[archfz]

I am having issues using dynamic imports with variables in the path name. Trying to load dynamically the language. If I disable the babel-plugin-universal-import plugin or I remove the variable from the import path then it works.

webpack version: 4.41.2
babel-loader version: 8.0.6
babel-plugin-universal-import version: 4.0.0

code that is causing the issue:

return import(/* webpackChunkName: "lang-admin-[request]" */ `../Locales/${locale}.ts`);

code that DOES NOT cause the issue:

return import(/* webpackChunkName: "lang-admin-[request]" */ `../Locales/en.ts`);

webpack build error:

ERROR in ./src/frontend-admin/DataProviders/LocaleProvider.ts
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):

webpack babel rule config:

        test: /\.(tsx?)|(js)$/,
        include: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
        use: {
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            cacheDirectory: true,
            presets: [
              "@babel/preset-react",
              "@babel/preset-env",
            ],
            plugins: [
              "@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import",
              "universal-import",
            ]
          }
        }
      },```

@archfz Did you ever get a solution to this? I have the same problem.

[archfz]

@askurat No I haven't. It would be nice to see some movement here.

Since I spent some time on this plugin, maybe I can try to help you if you provide a reproduction repo.
