Facing imports issue while using the compat package

[prarabdhb]

Hi, I was trying to use the compat package to migrate from v5 to v6.

As soon as I install the package, I see errors like this

Compiled with problems:

My current package.json looks something like this

"react-router": "^5.2.0",
"react-router-dom": "^5.2.0",
"react-router-dom-v5-compat": "^6.3.0",

And the imports I am trying to use are

import {
	useNavigate,
	useParams,
	useMatch,
	useLocation as loc,
	CompatRoute
} from "react-router-dom-v5-compat";

Couldn't find any issues related to this on Github Issues or Discussions

Did you find an answer to this @prarabdhb? I'm having the exact same issue.

I guess your webpack config cause this issue.
You may need to add the relative path before the absolute path in resolve.modules of webpack config.
