If you try to set up multiple entry points in Webpack, you can get the following error:
D:\projects\image-annotation\node_modules\webpack\lib\NormalModuleFactory.js:72
var elements = request.replace(/^-?!+/, "").replace(/!!+/g, "!").split("!");
^
TypeError: request.replace is not a function

Basically, the problem is that if you create a webpack config file, it doesn’t have the ability to tell you that the JSON object is the wrong shape, because it isn’t testing this like it should.
For instance, I got this error because I did this:
module.exports = {
entry: [
{
ssl_search: "./src/ssl_search/Entry.js"
}
]
}
When I really should have done this:
module.exports = {
entry: {
ssl_search: "./src/ssl_search/Entry.js"
}
}
Nice, thanks!
Thanks
This post informed me that I was doing something stupid (and, consequently, the solution) in record time! Thanks!
