Steps to reproduce

• Create a vue-cli project

vue create testapp

• Select manually features, add router + vuex, then keep everything as default ; at the last choice, select "In package.json" instead of dedicated config files
• Run build and look at the dist/js/app.js content hash

cd testapp
npm run build

• Rename the project folder and build again

cd ..
mv testapp testapp2
cd testapp2
npm run build

• Compare the dist/js/app.js content hash with the previous one, it should be different

What is expected?

Content hash should be the same

What is actually happening?

Content hash is different

---

• It only happens with the combo "router + vuex + config in package.json" ; it doesn't happen with "router + config in package.json" or "vuex + config in package.json" (which is super weird)
• It only affects app.js (and app.js.map), css files are ok

Use case:
I have a vue app deployed with capistrano on 2 different VMs.
At each deploy, on each VM:

• A new directory is created with the date in its name (ex: /home/user/releases/20190227110836)
• The project code is fetch from git in this directory
• npm run build is run

If the directories are not created at the same time, they will have different names, which will generate different content hashes on my app.js on each VM.

Is this related d5ed280 ?

[antoinematyja]

Nope
The issue looks the same as #2807
But I already upgraded to vue-cli 3.4.1 and it's still happening.

[haoqunjiang]

I mean, you can now apply the absoluteRuntime: false option to the preset now. We didn't document it, though.

[antoinematyja]

Oh ok I thought false was the new default. Don't know where to put this option though.

Also it's still weird that the issue doesn't happen with the config in separate files, but happens with the config in package.json.

[haoqunjiang]

// babel.config.js
module.exports = {
  presets: [
    ['@vue/app', {
      absoluteRuntime: false
    }]
  ]
}

[antoinematyja]

Many thanks, I was trying hard stuff like

presets: [
  '@vue/app', {
    absoluteRuntime: false
  }
]

Now it works perfectly.

Still confused about why it happens with this configuration only.
Also I think this should be the default behavior.

Feel free to close this issue if this isn't relevant.

Also it's still weird that the issue doesn't happen with the config in separate files, but happens with the config in package.json.

Just figured it out. It is related to this bug: #2983 and is expected to be fixed in v3.5.
For now a workaround is to disable thread-loader by adding the following configuration to vue.config.js:

module.exports = {
  parallel: false
}

I'll close this issue as it's now a duplication of #2983.

Also I think this should be the default behavior.

We can't because we can't be sure if the @babel/runtime-corejs2 in the root node_modules is the correct version, due to the non-deterministic nature of npm dependency hoisting. So we have to leave it for the user to decide.

Just tried to reproduce this with the new v3.5, I confirm it's no longer happening 🥇

[antoinematyja]

@sodatea Sadly the issue came back with v3.5.1.

I tried several combos to find the specific package/version reintroducing the issue and the culprit is @vue/[email protected]. The latest version 3.5.3 still has the issue.

    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": "^3.5.3",
    "@vue/cli-plugin-eslint": "^3.5.1",
    "@vue/cli-service": "^3.5.0",

=> ✅

    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": "^3.5.3",
    "@vue/cli-plugin-eslint": "^3.5.1",
    "@vue/cli-service": "^3.5.1",

=> ❌

(also it seems like the npm package @vue/cli-plugin-eslint got stuck in 3.5.1 when others got to 3.5.3)

I understand this issue is difficult to reproduce but it would be great to have a test to avoid reintroducing it in the future as it can be critical for production environment builds.

Thanks !
