  You can mark the path "@graphql-tools/schema" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will remove this error and leave the unresolved path in the bundle.

 NOTE  ** Important Information: ***
 NOTE  The error message above shows an issue with bundling a node_module.
 NOTE  In most cases this is because you (indirectly) shared a Node.js package,
 NOTE  while Native Federation builds for the browser.
 NOTE  You can move such packages into devDependencies or skip them in your federation.config.js.

@manfredsteyer An update on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please try to skip @apollo/client/testing in your federation.config.js?

[sajay-g]

@manfredsteyer I tried all possibility including regex /^graphql-tools/ or '@apollo/client/testing',, none worked.

Can you please try with the latest version again. It's now more tolerant when it sees nodejs code (that is not used in the browser).
