vue ssr document is not defined #2380

Hi everyone, I am trying to do server side render by 'vue-server-renderer', I can do

npm run dev

to develop, but when I try

npm run build
npm run start

I always got errors like this

ReferenceError: document is not defined

I also had the same problem, I found it might be caused by mini-css-extract-plugin.
mini-css-extract-plugin will extract css file and inject, which use function such as document.getElementsByTagName

So what I did to solve it is drop the css file at server render.

const merge = require('webpack-merge')
const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals')
const baseConfig = require('./webpack.base.config.js')
const VueSSRServerPlugin = require('vue-server-renderer/server-plugin')

module.exports = merge(baseConfig, {
  entry: './src/entry-server.js',
  target: 'node',
  devtool: 'source-map',
  output: {
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2'
  },
  externals: nodeExternals({
    whitelist: /\.css$/
  }),
  plugins: [
    new VueSSRServerPlugin()
  ],
  module: {
    rules: [{
      test: /\.css$/,
      use: [
        'css-loader/locals'
      ]
    }, {
      test: /\.scss$/,
      use: [
        'css-loader/locals',
        'sass-loader'
      ]
    }]
  }
})

note css-loader/locals will not inject the css file at server, thus solve the problem.

Hope that will help you.

For me, I got a very similar error (with vue-router and the anonymous functions, running with dev but not build and whatnot).

The fix was I was refreshing my babel config and took out "dynamic-import-node" from the plugins section. I needed to add it back... and it started working again. :)

Hello, in the version of vue-cli3+, how to use css-loader/locals?
I tried for a long time but failed. Do you have any examples?

simon300000 · 2020-01-05T09:43:17Z

@lycHub Hello, I build SSR with webpack, I do not have any examples with vue-cli3

PS: I do have one, but it is "hybrid", SSR is still handled by webpack

Hi,

I am running into the same problem. However, i attempted to add your solution into my vue.config.js file as such

const path = require('path')
const ExtractCssChunksPlugin = require('extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin')

module.exports = {
  outputDir: 'dist',
  lintOnSave: false,
  css: {
    extract: true //false
  },
  chainWebpack: config => {
    config.resolve.alias.set('@', path.resolve(__dirname))
  },
  configureWebpack: {
    optimization: {
      splitChunks: {
        cacheGroups: {
          styles: {
            name: 'styles',
            test: /\.css$/,
            chunks: 'all',
            enforce: true
          }
        }
      }
    },
    plugins: [
      new ExtractCssChunksPlugin({
        filename: '[name].css'
      })
    ],
    module: {
      rules: [
        {
          test: /\.css$/,
          use: [
            {
              loader: ExtractCssChunksPlugin.loader
            },
            'postcss-loader',
            'css-loader'
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

i get the following error

(1:1) Unknown word

> 1 | // Imports
    | ^
  2 | var ___CSS_LOADER_API_IMPORT___ = require("../../../node_modules/css-loader/dist/runtime/api.js");

@lycHub Hello, I build SSR with webpack, I do not have any examples with vue-cli3

PS: I do have one, but it is "hybrid", SSR is still handled by webpack https://github.com/simon300000/musedash.moe

I create a vue-ssr-demo project with vue-cli, and I also encountered the same problem. My solution is replace the mini-css-extract-plugin with a new loader

        // css-loader mini-css-extract-plugin(extract-css-loader)，will generate browser sentence such as document.getElementsByTagName xxxxx。
        // this will result in error (document not defined), running on server side。
        // so delete mini-css-extract-plugin and replace with css-context-loader。
        const langs = ['css', 'less']
        const types = ['vue-modules', 'vue', 'normal-modules', 'normal']

        langs.forEach(lang => {
          types.forEach(type => {
            const rule = config.module.rule(lang).oneOf(type)
            rule.uses.delete('extract-css-loader')
            rule.use('css-context-loader').loader(CssContextLoader).before('css-loader')
          })
        })

the new loader you can reference vue-cli-plugin-ssr
