Yep, bug, mini-css-extract-plugin doesn't work with asset modules, critical, need to fix

[piecyk]

Hmm hard to say where or how to start with this 🤔 Obvious workaround is to use file-loader/url-loader rather new assets. Also if someone want's to have a look added testes cases https://github.com/piecyk/mini-css-extract-plugin/tree/bugfix/655 can use this as base branch.

I will send a fix today

[alexander-akait]

Hope, we don't break anything, anyway there is one way to check, release it 😄

[alexander-akait]

Please try https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin/releases/tag/v1.3.1

@evilebottnawi works! Thanks 👏

This seems to have broken Webpack 4 compatibility.

v1.3.0 works with Webpack 4
v1.3.1 does not

[alexander-akait]

@Varedis when you speak it is broken please provide reproducible test repo, hard to say what is not working

[alexander-akait]

We have tests for v4 and all works fine, hard-source-webpack-plugin will be never compatibility with this

[Varedis]

Maybe this helps, I don't really have the time to make a test repo at the minute, sorry:

using [email protected] and [email protected]:

Using [email protected] with the same webpack version and exactly same config works fine.

[alexander-akait]

Please update webpack@4 to the latest stable version

[alexander-akait]

i.e. 4.44.2

[alexander-akait]

We try to avoid supporting old version of webpack, there are a lot of other bugs
