Webpacker: Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError in Orders#new

[indahwii]

Webpacker can't find pay_type.js in /home/studio/indah/depot/public/packs/manifest.json. Possible causes:

1. You want to set webpacker.yml value of compile to true for your environment
   unless you are using the webpack -w or the webpack-dev-server.
2. webpack has not yet re-run to reflect updates.
3. You have misconfigured Webpacker's config/webpacker.yml file.
4. Your webpack configuration is not creating a manifest.
   Your manifest contains:
   {
   "application.js": "/packs/application-daf00e23d1e09f8b59b4.js",
   "application.js.map": "/packs/application-daf00e23d1e09f8b59b4.js.map",
   "hello_react.js": "/packs/hello_react-915178db5f552571d1a3.js",
   "hello_react.js.map": "/packs/hello_react-915178db5f552571d1a3.js.map"
   }

I got this error after adding webpacker to Rails 5.2 project and running rails webpacker:install and rails webpacker:install:vue. None of the commands generated a package.json file (and subsequently did not download packages, so I had no node_modules directory).

I ended up running rails new myapp --webpack=vue in /tmp, so I could copy out package.json (which was generated).

After copying out the package.json, I ran bin/yarn install to download the packages and then everything worked.

Just in case someone runs into something similar.

oke thanks!

I followed the readme exactly, as did @boatrite, and I also didn't have package.json generated, which caused the Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError. Took me a while to figure this one out since the error message is Webpacker can't find application.js in /Users/user/dev/project/public/packs/manifest.json, which is misleading, since the file application.js exists in the correct folder (it was generated after webpacker:install) (Rails 5.0.2)
