Html-webpack-plugin: extract-text-plugin isn't compatible with webpack 2 anymore

[jantimon]

extract-text-plugin isn't compatible with webpack 2 anymore and therefore all examples are broken for webpack 2.

unfortunately the integration tests use those examples to verify that the webpack-html-plugin is compatible with webpack 2.

[robwise]

what about using extract-text-plugin 2.0.0-beta.3 since it's webpack-2 compatible?

[jantimon]

Then we would have to drop all webpack 1 integration tests as extract-text-plugin 2 is not compatible with webpack 1

Hi Jan,
FYI.
I dealt with this issue for style-ext-html-webpack-plugin using a quick monkey-patch of Module._load - see the test code.
I have hived off the monkey-patch into its own module.
Once this module is out of alpha (i.e. I have written some tests for it) would you be interested in a PR for html-webpack-plugin on these lines)?

[jantimon]

Well we would also have to change all tests.. so installing is not a problem

https://github.com/webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin supports webpack@2

@LoicMahieu but not webpack1

There's a problem that's specific to running HMR in multiStep mode as discussed https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/2985 .

To quote Tobias:

the hot update chunks are also "chunk assets" and it looks like that the html-plugin generates a script tag for them.
html-plugin should use the new stats.entrypoints data to generate the script tags. This contains all needed files for an entrypoint in correct order.

If you want, I can open a separate issue to track this.

[jantimon]

Sure please - is there any developer documentation on stats.entrypoints?
Is there any way to get this backwards compatible - like backporting stats.entrypoints to webpack 1?

Not that I know of.

Is there any way to get this backwards compatible - like backporting stats.entrypoints to webpack 1?

I expect some ugly check like require('webpack/package.json').version might be needed unless the plugin instance passes a version field.

I'll open a separate issue and get Tobias in the loop.

Is there a known workaround to make html-webpack-plugin work with webpack 2?

[brandonb927]

@luishdz1010 I am running webpack 2.2, am fairly new to webpack itself as well, and have html-webpack-plugin running fine

[bebraw]

To my understanding only HMR multiStep option is broken with webpack 2 as discussed at #533.

@luishdz1010 Are you having any particular issues with it?
