Switch to webpack-dev-server (close #964) #975

LinusBorg · 2017-10-11T22:03:56Z

Why?

The reasons for this change are laid out in #964

What changed?

/config/dev-server.js and /config/dev-client.js are gone
webpack.dev.conf.js now returns a promise. This was necessary to keep the recently added portfinder feature working without writing a new dev-server.js file that wraps webpack-dev-server
That file now also has all the webpack-dev-server configuration, but most of the usually used options can be configured from /config/index.js
/test/e2e/runner.js was changed quite a bit to make it work with webpack-dev-server, but it works just fine.

What was added?

This PR also has a few goodies, all otpional changes are reachable through /config/index.js

The host&port are now shown in the console after each build with a nice message
build progress is shown in the console during each build in development (already worked in npm run build).
You can now optionally receive a notification from your OS when the build fails, this can be activated with the notifyOnErrors option:
You can deactivate eslint-loader. This is useful if you already have eslint support in your editor/IDE and don't want the warnings /errors shown by webpack
If you do use eslint-loader, it usually shows its errors in the error overlay in the browser and halts the build. You can now opt out of this, so eslint errors & warnings are only shown in the console.
General restructuring of /config/index.js:
- moving all dev options to the top since these are the ones you use first/more often
- added more comments and links to relevant webpack docs where I deemed it useful.
- and tried to group the options into more logical blocks

Testing this PR

@vuejs-templates/collaborators and anyone interested: Please take this for a test-ride with:

vue init webpack#feature/webpack-dev-server(#964)

Edit: Appearantly the branch name breaks vue-cli, so you will have to check out the branch locally and then run vue init . nameForTestDirectory to test it

And report any and all problems in this PR thread. Thanks!

Looks good to me on first glance - good to merge with one additional person testing it locally to make sure it works as intended.

Package "node-notifier" is missing in the list of dependencies in generated packages.json and it is now used in utils.js

LinusBorg · 2017-10-12T17:10:31Z

Thanks. Weird, no idea how that got lost but it's easy to fix :)

LinusBorg · 2017-10-13T08:12:23Z

@grakic I just checked, it's not missing?

But anyway, I realized that I fixed a specific version which is not necessary, so I will push a small fix.

I don't know what is going on, but I wanted to try the dev branch with the switch to webpack-dev-server and I had an issue right out of the box. npm run dev was complaining about a missing dependency :

These dependencies were not found:

* !!vue-style-loader!css-loader?{"minimize":false,"sourceMap":false}!../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/style-compiler/index?{"vue":true,"id":"data-v-7ba5bd90","scoped":false,"hasInlineConfig":false}!postcss-loader!../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/selector?type=styles&index=0&bustCache!./App.vue in ./src/App.vue
* !!vue-style-loader!css-loader?{"minimize":false,"sourceMap":false}!../../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/style-compiler/index?{"vue":true,"id":"data-v-469af010","scoped":true,"hasInlineConfig":false}!postcss-loader!../../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/selector?type=styles&index=0&bustCache!./HelloWorld.vue in ./src/components/HelloWorld.vue

To install them, you can run: npm install --save !!vue-style-loader!css-loader?{"minimize":false,"sourceMap":false}!../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/style-compiler/index?{"vue":true,"id":"data-v-7ba5bd90","scoped":false,"hasInlineConfig":false}!postcss-loader!../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/selector?type=styles&index=0&bustCache!./App.vue !!vue-style-loader!css-loader?{"minimize":false,"sourceMap":false}!../../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/style-compiler/index?{"vue":true,"id":"data-v-469af010","scoped":true,"hasInlineConfig":false}!postcss-loader!../../node_modules/vue-loader/lib/selector?type=styles&index=0&bustCache!./HelloWorld.vue

I added postcss-loader because it's not in package.json : npm install postcss-loader --save-dev

After that the dev server is up and running but with annoying warnings :

PostCSS Loader

Previous source map found, but options.sourceMap isn't set.
In this case the loader will discard the source map entirely for performance reasons.
See https://github.com/postcss/postcss-loader#sourcemap for more

Maybe I wasn't suppose to add postcss-loader ?

LinusBorg · 2017-11-10T06:43:12Z

Hey, thanks for reporting. That may very well. Be the case, it's the dev branch. Some PRe that I merged probably need some refinement, I plan to look into this at the weekend

LinusBorg · 2017-11-10T08:47:11Z

@Tirke postcss-loader was just added via #1038 and I opened a small PR to fix the sourcemap situation #1039

I can't test the PR right now, but you might take it for a spin if you want to :)

Frondor · 2017-11-14T18:31:55Z

To be honest, this is quite annoying:

It messes up my own debugging workflow with logs. Is there any way to disable those messages? @LinusBorg

LinusBorg · 2017-11-14T19:00:17Z

I think clientLogLevel should be the setting you are looking for.

I probably should set this to something more reasonable, thanks for the pointer.

Frondor · 2017-11-14T19:09:18Z

Switched it to "error" and worked just fine!
