After reading numerous SO questions (as well as researching online), I am still unable to generate a CSS file (with CSS inside of it) using Webpack 2 (v2.1.0-beta.27), ExtractText plugin (v2.0.0-beta.4), sass-loader (v3.2.0), css-loader (v0.26.1), and style-loader (v0.13.1).
Currently Webpack 2 completes successfully and generates my JS files as expected, but my app.css file is empty (Chrome throws a 404 for the file) but is generated in the correct location according to my Sources panel in Chrome. This leads me to believe there is an issue with css-loader or another loader.
My current webpack.config.js file looks like this:
const webpack = require('webpack');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
const path = require('path');
const resolve = path.resolve;
const rootDir = resolve(__dirname);
const dist = resolve(rootDir, 'coolAppName/secured_assets');
const assetIndex = resolve(rootDir, 'src/app');
const vendorIndex = resolve(rootDir, 'webpack.vendor.js');
const styleIndex = resolve(rootDir, 'webpack.style.js');
const fontPath = '../static/fonts/';
module.exports = {
watchOptions: {
poll: 3000,
aggregateTimeout: 1000,
},
devServer: {
port: 8080,
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8080/secured_assets/',
},
devtool: 'eval-source-map',
entry: {
app: assetIndex,
style: styleIndex,
vendor: vendorIndex,
},
output: {
path: dist,
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8080/secured_assets/'
},
module: {
loaders: [
// CSS files
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallbackLoader: 'style-loader',
loader: [
{
loader: 'css-loader',
}
]
}),
},
// SCSS files
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallbackLoader: 'style-loader',
loader: [
{
loader: 'css-loader'
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader'
}
]
})
},
{
test: /\.(gif|png)$/,
loaders: [
{
loader: 'url-loader',
query: {
mimetype: 'image/png'
},
},
],
},
{
test: /\.js/,
loaders: 'babel-loader',
include: [
assetIndex,
],
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
query: {
cacheDirectory: true,
},
},
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loaders: 'url-loader',
query: {
limit: 10000,
mimetype: 'application/font-woff',
name: `${fontPath}[name].[ext]`,
},
},
{
test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|otf)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loaders: 'file-loader',
query: {
name: `${fontPath}[name].[ext]`,
},
},
{
test: /\.json$/,
loaders: 'json-loader',
},
{
test: /\.html$/,
loaders: 'html-loader',
},
],
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin({
filename: '/css/app.css',
allChunks: true,
})
],
};
and my webpack.style.js file looks like this:
// STYLE entrypoint
// vendor (CSS)
require('./coolAppName/static/fonts/custom-font-icons/styles.css');
require('font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css');
require('simple-line-icons/css/simple-line-icons.css');
require('lato-font');
require('./node_modules/bootswatch/yeti/bootstrap.min.css');
require('./node_modules/angularjs-toaster/toaster.css');
require('./node_modules/angular-busy2/dist/angular-busy.css');
require('./node_modules/perfect-scrollbar/dist/css/perfect-scrollbar.css');
require('./node_modules/angular-bootstrap-lightbox/dist/angular-bootstrap-lightbox.css');
require('./node_modules/angularjs-slider/dist/rzslider.min.css');
require('./node_modules/ui-select/dist/select.css');
require('./coolAppName/static/fonts/noto/noto.css');
// SCSS
require('./src/app/css/templates.scss');
My file structure looks like this (which is correct):
Before trying to migrate to Webpack 2, everything was working as expected. The only thing that has changed are related to Webpack 2 upgrades, all file pathing and the loaders I am using are the same (except for upgrading the versions).
This is what the important sections looked like with Webpack 1 (I got rid of postcss-loader for this example above)
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style-loader', 'css-loader?sourceMap!postcss-loader'),
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style-loader', 'css-loader?sourceMap!sass-loader?sourceMap!postcss-loader'),
},
Ultimately I want to create 1 CSS file within /secured_assets/css/app.css that contains all of the styles I require in webpack.style.js. At this point, I get no errors and the app.css has no contents and I see a 404 in my Network panel (although it shows up in Sources in Chrome).
Update
When I simply run webpack --config ./webpack.dev.js it creates my app.css correctly. When I run webpack-dev-server --config ./webpack.dev.js it does not. So looks to be a possible webpack-dev-server issue...
