SDKError: Ti is not defined

[vinitdeshkar]

Background:
When we started using pubnub (v 4.37.x), we started getting could not load bridge.js error.
Issue is described here which is still open #266

bridge.js belongs to vm2, it's used by pubnub -> degenerator -> vm2.
webpack couldn't handle contents of vm2 (bridge.js).

In order to fix this issue, we used pubnub.min.js from pubnub/dist/titanium/pubnub.min.js

Below was the fix added in webpack config:

resolve: {
      extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js'],
      alias: {
        pubnub: path.resolve(appModulesDir, 'pubnub', 'dist', 'titanium', 'pubnub.min.js')
      }
},

This temporary fix worked for sometime.
But now we are getting different error "SDKError: Ti is not defined" on below line -

https://github.com/pubnub/javascript/blob/master/lib/networking/modules/titanium.js#L27

Can someone please suggest what might be causing this problem?

Environment Details:
Node v14.18.3
NPM v6.14.15
Webpack v4.46.0

I added the files to my webpack config, so at least the files are bundled. Ideally we wouldn't need to do this, but at least it works.

// these files are required by vm2 which is a dependency of the pubnub SDK
const bridgeConfig = {
  entry: './node_modules/vm2/lib/bridge.js',
  output: {
      filename: 'bridge.js',
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../build')
  }
};
const sandboxConfig = {
  entry: './node_modules/vm2/lib/setup-sandbox.js',
  output: {
      filename: 'setup-sandbox.js',
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../build')
  }
};


module.exports = [
    ...otherConfigs,
    bridgeConfig,
    sandboxConfig
]

Tried this workaround but now I am getting below warning-

(node:73234) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead. (Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)

Thanks @jazpearson for suggesting a workaround.

We copied files bridge.js and setup-sandobox.js and also switched to node package bundle of pubnub.

resolve: {
      extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js'],
      alias: {
        pubnub: path.resolve(appModulesDir, 'pubnub', 'lib', 'node', 'index.js')
      }
}
