Dependabot's #10460 fails every feature test because react-frame-component 5.3.2 breaks the bundle: opening the Query Tool throws React error #130 (<Frame> is undefined) and the whole app unmounts, so later element lookups time out. Bumping each package on its own showed this is the only culprit; rc-dock 4.0.2 and React 19.3 are fine.

5.3 added "type": "module" to its package.json but still maps the require export to a UMD build. Our Babel output uses require(), so webpack loads the UMD file and parses it as ESM, where it exports nothing (require() of the package in Node returns {} too). This adds a webpack rule parsing the package as javascript/auto, so the UMD takes its CommonJS branch. Jest was never affected, as it loads the UMD as CommonJS. The PR also bumps react-frame-component to 5.3.2, so CI exercises the rule.

Test plan

Once merged, @dependabot rebase on #10460 should turn it green (it will drop react-frame-component from the group).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved build compatibility for applications using the embedded frame component. Builds can now process the component’s package format correctly, reducing packaging errors and helping applications build and run as expected. The component’s visible behavior remains unchanged.

react-frame-component 5.3 added "type": "module" to its package.json
whilst mapping the "require" condition of its exports to a UMD build.
Babel compiles our imports to require(), so webpack resolves the UMD
file and, honouring the package type, parses it as an ES module. With no
exports object in scope, the UMD wrapper falls through to its browser
global branch and the module exports nothing, so <Frame> is undefined.
Opening the Query Tool then throws React error pgadmin-org#130 and unmounts the
whole app, which is why every feature test timed out with the 5.3.2
bump in pgadmin-org#10460. Node shows the same packaging fault: require() of the
package returns an empty object.

Tell webpack to parse the package as javascript/auto so the UMD takes
its CommonJS branch. Jest is unaffected, as it loads the UMD as CommonJS.

Walkthrough

The react-frame-component dependency range changes from ~5.2.6 to ~5.3.2. Webpack sets the package’s JavaScript files to the javascript/auto module type.

Changes

Webpack module parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package-specific parsing rule
web/package.json, web/webpack.config.js
The dependency range changes from ~5.2.6 to ~5.3.2. Webpack matches JavaScript files in node_modules/react-frame-component and sets their module type to javascript/auto.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: asheshv

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 655a3

The dependency resolves to 5.3.2, and webpack applies javascript/auto to its CommonJS UMD entry. No concrete Query Tool bundle regression is evident, so no PR-specific blocker remains.
