Summary of Changes

Hello @Anas12091101, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a targeted fix for a webpack_loader.utils issue observed in the mitx qa environment, which does not reproduce locally. The core change involves adjusting the import strategy for webpack_loader.utils to ensure it's loaded precisely when needed within a specific function, potentially resolving environment-specific initialization or state conflicts. This is a speculative fix that requires post-deployment validation on the affected mitx qa branch.

Highlights

• Import Strategy Refinement: The import of webpack_loader was removed from the module's top level (xmodule/util/builtin_assets.py:8). Instead, webpack_loader.utils is now imported locally within the add_webpack_js_to_fragment function (xmodule/util/builtin_assets.py:46). This change aims to address potential issues related to how webpack_loader is initialized or accessed in specific environments.

Code Review

This pull request addresses a potential webpack_loader issue by moving the import into the function where it's used. This is a solid strategy for resolving import-related problems that can be environment-specific. The change is small and well-targeted. I've added one suggestion to improve the readability of the new code.
