Description

@wordpress/warning and its babel-plugin rely on process.env. So for env == 'production' it's supposed not to show the warning.

The problem is webpack 5 removed process variable completely:

• https://webpack.js.org/blog/2020-10-10-webpack-5-release/#changes-to-the-structure

  Automatic polyfills for native Node.js modules were removed
  node.process removed

• https://webpack.js.org/migrate/5/#run-a-single-build-and-follow-advice

  webpack 5 does no longer include a polyfill for this Node.js variable. Avoid using it in the frontend code.
  process.env is Node.js specific and should be avoided in frontend code.

So, the typeof process !== 'undefined' && process.env !=== 'production' is always false, which prevents warning to be called for any kind of environment.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Follow the package's README

1. Put @wordpress/warning/babel-plugin into your babel config or use @wordpress/babel-preset-default, which already includes the babel plugin.

2. import warning from '@wordpress/warning';
   warning( 'You should see me' );

3. Build your bundle with webpack 5
