Syntax error on eval-script.js (22,1) for IE11

[manuelro]

There is a syntax error in one of Next's dependencies. The file's name is eval-script.js and is located at next/dist/lib/eval-script.js. This only happens on IE11 and previous versions.

The code this is prompting as buggy is at line 22 of the aforementioned file.

function evalScript(script) {
  var module = { exports: {} };

  eval(script); // eslint-disable-line no-eval
  return module.exports;
}

Next version: next@^2.0.0-beta.25

Any ideas how to make this IE11 compatible?

Have you tried a more recent version to see if the error still exists?

I've updated Next package to 2.0.0-beta.31 but the error persists.

cc @arunoda @nkzawa I wonder if we should even do that eval in production mode.

[arunoda]

@timneutkens with the current setup we've to use eval. But I'd like to use something different is later versions.

[timneutkens]

Okay 👍🏻
