To our surprise, we hit a weird and at first confusing error during the Stimulus upgrade process: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: class constructors must be invoked with 'new'". No controllers worked at all. We double-, triple-checked the configs and all seemed OK. The solution clicked after we read this response on Stack Overflow. Our JS code was transpiled to ES5 but Stimulus itself now uses ES6 as the compile target. So our ES5 controllers could not extend ES6 Stimulus classes.

browserslist
🦔 Share target browsers between different front-end tools, like Autoprefixer, Stylelint and babel-preset-env
We found the cause in the browserslist section of our package.json file. This setting is used by Babel to transpile various modern JS features to their safer alternatives according to browsers usage, and we needed to explicitly exclude IE11 support to compile our JS code to ES6 and the error disappeared.

Finally, as we recently added the Stimulus-Use library to our project, we made sure to upgrade it to current beta which supports Stimulus 3.
