pixi.js 5.1.5 - "Cannot read property 'start' of undefined"

[dranitski]

My working project stopped working after updating to pixi.[email protected]

Steps to reproduce:

1. git clone https://[email protected]/dmitrydranitski/pixijs-5.1.1-5.1.5-update-bug.git
2. cd into dir
3. npm i
4. npm run dev
5. go to the url (https://localhost:8080 by default)
   you should see the page
   
6. Ctrl+C - stop the webpack-dev-server
7. rm -rf node_modules
8. npm i pixi.[email protected]
9. npm run dev
10. go to the url (https://localhost:8080 by default)
11. The code is not working. I can not see the reason, seems like a bug?
    

Thanks in advance for any help!

Known bug. Two versions of pixi exist at the same time, renderers are registered in only one of them.

"Remove package.lock and node_modules" helps.

We have a number of threads in forums & here, all closed.

Personally, I dont know what to do about it, except "throw webpack away, use vanilla js!"

"Remove package.lock and node_modules" helped. Thanks!

I run yarn remove pixi.js-legacy and fixed it. I think the pixi.js-legacy module messes up with the regular pixi. Or maybe the versions of pixi and pixi.js-legacy don't match. Didn't had time to investigate.

It happened again.

I had the following dependencies in my package.json:
"pixi-filters": "3.1.1", "pixi.js": "5.2.2"

• New 5.2.3 pixi.js version has been released.
• I still have "pixi.js": "5.2.2" as a dependency.
• After npm install some pixi.js dependencies in package-lock.json are pointed to 5.2.3 some are still to 5.2.2.

Solution in my case:

• Update my pixi.js dependency to 5.2.3
• Clear node_modules and package-lock.json
• npm install
• Now all pixi.js dependencies are pointed to 5.2.3 versions, so there are no versions conflict now and issue is solved.
