This loader should not expect `--watch` for the dev server
sporto opened this issue · 9 comments
In version 4.4.0 of the webpack cli you could pass a --watch flag like:
webpack serve --watch
This will make this loader rebuild files on changes.
In version 4.5 of the CLI passing that flag is an error:
The watching should happen automatically. Which indeed happens with CSS and Typescript files. But not with Elm file.
The loader should watch file without the --watch flag.
The actual configuration that works for me is adding watch in the webpack config. e.g.
{
...
watch: true
}
Will close this and make a PR for the readme
The watch: true worked with the webpack cli version 4.4.0. But doesn't with 4.5.0.
Unsure what is going on.
In https://webpack.js.org/configuration/watch/ it says that In webpack-dev-server and webpack-dev-middleware watch mode is enabled by default.
However when running the server I get compiler.options.watch == false

It appears that is not the proper way to do it anymore.
This is getting increasingly painful. Hope the PR can be merged quickly
We may have to publish it ourselves.
This will be on npm in the next day or so, but in the mean time you can put "elm-community/elm-webpack-loader#8.0.0" as the elm-webpack-loader version in your package.json and it will grab the package directly from github. If you do this you might need to go into node_modules and delete the elm-webpack-loader directory first.
@lukewestby Any update on when we can expect version 8.0.0 to be available on npm?
