When I first started using CKEditor 5 with create-react-app, I installed CKEditor as an npm module, and imported the ClassicEditor build as recommended by the quickstart.

Development mode (via npm start) worked well, and I was happily integrating CKEditor with React, but as soon as I ran npm run build (which generates the create-react-app production build), I ended up with the following error:

> [email protected] build c:\Dev\scratch\ckeditor-integration
> node scripts/build.js

Creating an optimized production build...
Failed to compile.

Failed to minify the code from this file:

        ./node_modules/@ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic/build/ckeditor.js:5:7350

Ruh-roh. What to do next? How can I solve this? Is this solvable? Is there another way?
