Swiper silent crash ?

[jwillp]

Swiper version: 8.0.7

I attempted to add Swiper (without any framework integration) to a web page, but when doing so I encounter a weird issue where
all javascript seems to fail after importing swiper.

Essentially this

import {Swiper, Autoplay, Navigation} from "swiper"

import 'swiper/css'
import 'swiper/css/navigation';

console.debug("Swiper initialization")
const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
    observer: true,
    observeParents: true,
    loop: true,
    modules: [Navigation, Autoplay],
    speed: 400,
    spaceBetween: 100
})

swiper.slideNext()

never gets to the console.debug statement, and does not indicate any other issue in the console.

However, when removing the import {Swiper, Autoplay, Navigation} from "swiper" statement it does display correctly, and indicate that Swiper is undefined (rightly so).

Has anybody experienced this?
