[bug]: can't require some dependencies on server component

[marc0777]

What version of @strapi/sdk-plugin are you using?

• npm version: 10.8.2
• node version: 20.17.0
• @strapi/sdk-plugin version: 5.2.6

What's Wrong?

Using the template created by sdk-plugin for Strapi v5 some imports inside the server component don't work. Building the plugin itself seems to work without problem, however once I try to start Strapi 5.0.0 I get the following error:

Error: Could not load js config file ~/test-plugin/dist/server/index.js: Cannot destructure property 'v4' of 'require$$0__default.default' as it is undefined.

This started happening only from RC.18 to the stable version, instead since the first RC up to RC.17 it was working without problems.

To Reproduce

1. Create plugin with npx @strapi/sdk-plugin@latest init test-plugin, with TypeScript disabled.
2. Import a dependency npm install uuid
3. Use dependency on server. For example, I changed service.js like this:

'use strict';

const {v4} = require("uuid")

const service = ({ strapi }) => ({
  getWelcomeMessage() {
    return 'Welcome to Strapi 🚀, uuid: ' + v4();
  },
});

module.exports = service;

4. Include plugin and start Strapi npm strapi develop
5. Strapi crashes while trying to start, with the error above.

The issue can be circumvented by requiring uuid dynamically wrapping in a try, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Expected Behaviour

Strapi should start successfully, correctly importing the dependency.
