[Web][3.4.0] reanimatedWrapper crashes Vite dev server and increases bundle size in production #4619
Description
Description
PR #4554 introduced a regression in the web build of RNGH because of this src import:
require('react-native-reanimated/src/createAnimatedComponent/AnimatedComponent').defaultThis has the following implications:
- DEV - Vite web server crashes on init with
- PROD - Reanimated gets duplicated in the bundle, resulting in additional 190 KB minified
Metro is unaffected because it honours Reanimated's react-native field and compiles src/.
Steps to reproduce
- Set up a React Native Web app built with Vite 8, with
react-native-gesture-handler@3.4.0. - Use any
GestureDetectorsoreanimatedWrapperis included. - Start the Vite dev server and open the app: it fails with the
validate-worklets-version.js ... does not provide an export named 'default'error above. - Run
vite buildand search the output bundle:AnimatedComponent's lifecycle methods (for examplethis._NativeEventsManager)==null||ae.attachEvents()) and the_hasWarnedAboutLayoutAnimationStyleOverwritingfield show up twice, once fromlib/moduleand once fromsrc.

Hi @gigobyte! Thank you for reporting this issue! I've prepared #4620 - could you confirm that it fixes the issue?

I can confirm that it resolves the issue, yes.
Keep Reanimated deep imports out of web bundles (#4620)
