I am currently doing maintenance for a project that was running React v15. Upgraded Webpack 3 > 4, Babel 6 > 7, css-loader 0.28.x > 3.0.0, etc.
Initially, updated React and used all the react-codemod + jscodeshift to transform the js files. While the version at that stage was not stable, it loaded and showed the proper styles etc.
What I find odd, is that after updating file-loader, css-loader, babel, and related packages, I kept getting Module not found: Error: Can't resolve, as following:
ERROR in ./app/sharedComponents/TitleGeneric/style.css (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--6-1!./app/sharedComponents/TitleGeneric/style.css)

Before posting I've done a lot of testing, trying and seeing, modified a lot of code and could not figure out the issue; I've also done quite a lot of research online. Finally checked if there are any posts about this in Stack Overflow, which I believe there is not at the moment.

The webpack base configuration file:
const webpack = require('webpack')
const path = require('path')
const chalk = require('chalk')
const loaderRules = require('./loaders')
const setup = require('./setup')
const PATHS = setup.PATHS
const VALUES = setup.VALUES
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
const AddAssetHtmlPlugin = require('add-asset-html-webpack-plugin')
const IgnorePlugin = require('webpack/lib/IgnorePlugin')
const LodashReplacePlugin = require('lodash-webpack-plugin')
const isDev = process.env.npm_lifecycle_event !== 'vendor:production'
// Base configuration
const { analyticsKey, applicationPath, htmlLinkPath } = VALUES
let vendorManifest
try {
vendorManifest = require(path.join(PATHS.build, 'vendor.json'))
} catch (e) {
if (e.code !== 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND') {
throw e
}
/* eslint-disable no-console */
console.log(chalk.red('*** Moo.la script error ***'))
console.log(chalk.red('Vendor bundle/manifest not found.\nPlease run ') +
chalk.white('`npm run vendor`') +
chalk.red(' first to generate it, then try again.'))
/* eslint-enable no-console */
process.exit(1)
}
let plugins = [
new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
context: process.cwd(),
manifest: vendorManifest,
}),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
analyticsKey,
template: path.join(PATHS.app, 'shell', 'index.html'),

new AddAssetHtmlPlugin({

new IgnorePlugin(/^\.\/locale$/, /moment$/),
new LodashReplacePlugin(),

}),
]
const baseConfig = {
entry: {
index: ['core-js/stable', PATHS.app],
},
plugins,
resolve: {
modules: [
PATHS.app,
'node_modules',
],
alias: {
videos: path.resolve(__dirname, '../app/videos/'),
sharedStyles: path.resolve(__dirname, '../app/sharedStyles/'),
images: path.resolve(__dirname, '../app/images/'),
animated: path.resolve(__dirname, '../app/animated/'),

},

module.exports = baseConfig
I've also tried to add a plugin to resolve from Babel, but without much luck:
{
"presets": [
["@babel/preset-env", {
"targets": {
"ie": 11
},
"modules": false
}],
"@babel/preset-react",
],
"plugins": [
"@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties",
"@babel/plugin-proposal-export-default-from",
["module-resolver", {
"root": ["./app"],
"alias": {
"videos": "./app/videos/",
"sharedStyles": "./app/sharedStyles/",
"images": "./app/images/",
"animated": "./app/animated/"
}
}]
]
}
The application is launched by node server.js where server.js looks like (simplified):
const port = 8080
const path = require('path')
const webpack = require('webpack')
const webpackDevMiddleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware')
const webpackHotMiddleware = require('webpack-hot-middleware')
const webpackConfigLocal = require('../webpack/config.local')
...
app.use(bodyParser.json())
router.use(webpackDevMiddleware(compiler, {
publicPath: '/',
logLevel: 'debug',
stats: {
colors: true,
hash: false,
version: true,
timings: false,
assets: false,
chunks: false,
modules: false,
reasons: false,
children: false,
source: false,
errors: true,
errorDetails: true,
warnings: true,
publicPath: false,
},
}))
router.use(webpackHotMiddleware(compiler))
...
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Development server listening on port ${port}`))
I'm running out of ideas and might have to revert Webpack, Babel and all related plugins and packages back to the previous version instead.
How can I fix this?
I got back to this issue and noticed that at some point past 0.28.x css-loader requires the prefix ~ for aliases.
Find "To import styles from a node_modules path (include resolve.modules) and for alias, prefix it with a ~" in https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader
