Also this only happened after I unstalled Ubuntu app and Kali linux app to my laptop.
I have tried following some of guidance about uninstalling/reinstalling webpack, unintstalled both ubuntu and kali linux etc. but no joy. Any advice would be appreciated.

My project nesting:
--Build
--src
----html
----js
----styles
----assets
------images
I want that files would load simply:
<img src="assets/images/myimage.jpg">
<srcipt src="js/custom.js"></script>
Any help would be appreciated.
Ironically this is my second project with Webpack 4 and this time I can't fix this issue, the first time there was no problem.

This is how img work in Webpack:
<img src=require("./assets/images/myimage.jpg")>
if you use "require" with file-loader, you need to add default.
<img src=require("./assets/images/myimage.jpg").default>
For script tag, src should be your output bundle.js file; because Webpack writes all the code into the bundle.js with the help of Babel. So when browser request html, browser will have only one Javascript file which is the bundle to download. That is the whole point of bundle, smaller bundle.js is better for performance.
// According to your Webpack config, it is main.bundle.js
<srcipt src="main.bundle.js"></script>
but in order to browser to use this main.bundle.js, it has to be publicly available. So you need express to define the public folder, when browser looks for main.bundle.js, you app will be looking into the public folder and if that file exists, it will ship it to the browser.
const express = require("express");
const server = express();
const staticMiddleware = express.static("build");
server.use(staticMiddleware);

Webpack: issue with breakpoints and mapping in typescript - breakpoints automatically moves at the end of file on debug

After I've updated webpack from 3.11.0 to 4.6.0, breakpoints in Angular Typescript started moving automatically at the end of the file during debug.
If I stop debug, they returns where I've placed them.
EXAMPLE (which will explain the situation better than my intro above)
If I have - for example - a .ts file of 100 lines and I set a
breakpoint on typescript on Visual Studio at line 50, when I run my
app debug, the breakpoints moves automatically at the end of the file
(so at line 100). When I stop debug, it returns on line 50.
The issue started when I've updated Webpack to last version and seems like to be related to sourcemap.
I share with you my webpack.config.js content below. After the code snippet, I will also tell you what I've changed from 3.11.0 to 4.6.0.
Can anyone help me to solving this?
P.S.: I've kept the default line that enable in-line sourcemaps if you delete or comment it in the config file (see comment Remove this line if you prefer inline source maps in my code below) because using in-line sourcemaps on typescript literally kills my computer.

WHAT CHANGED BETWEEN VERSIONS
webpack.config.js
1. - moved uglify from plugins to optimization, but copy-pasting this configuration from the internet. (Maybe the issue is related to this?)
optimization: {
minimizer: [
// specify a custom UglifyJsPlugin here to get source maps in production
new UglifyJsPlugin({
cache: true,
parallel: true,
uglifyOptions: {
compress: false,
ecma: 6,
mangle: true
},
sourceMap: true
})
]
},
2. - removed AOT webpack plugin from production environment configuration

Solved by disabling browser link in Visual Studio 2017.
Also set "sourcemap:true" on tsconfig.

webpack watch mode with CopyWebpackPlugin causes infinite loop

In webpack, CopyWebpackPlugin causes infinite loop when webpack is in watch mode. I tried to add watchOptions.ignored option but it doesn't seem to work.
My webpack config is following:
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const config = {
entry: {
'res': './src/index.js'
},
output: {
filename: '[name].min.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
},
mode: 'production',
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
}
}
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production')
}),
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
{ from: 'dist', to: path.resolve(__dirname, 'docs/js') }
], {})
],
watchOptions: {
ignored: path.resolve(__dirname, 'docs/js')
}
};
module.exports = config;
Any help would be appreciated.

With CopyWebpackPlugin, I've experienced the infinite loop too. I tried all kinds of CopyWebpackPlugin configurations with no luck yet. After hours of wasted time I found I could hook into the compiler and fire off my own copy method.
Running Watch
I'm using webpack watch to watch for changes. In the package.json, I use this config so I can run npm run webpackdev, and it will watch for file changes.
"webpackdev": "cross-env webpack --env.environment=development --env.basehref=/ --watch"
My Workaround
I've added an inline plugin with a compiler hook, which taps into AfterEmitPlugin. This allows me to copy after my sources have been generated after the compile. This method works great to copy my npm build output to my maven target webapp folder.
// Inline custom plugin - will copy to the target web app folder
// 1. Run npm install fs-extra
// 2. Add fix the path, so that it copies to the server's build webapp folder
{
apply: (compiler) => {
compiler.hooks.afterEmit.tap('AfterEmitPlugin', (compilation) => {
// Debugging
console.log("########-------------->>>>> Finished Ext JS Compile <<<<<------------#######");
let source = __dirname + '/build/';
// TODO Set the path to your webapp build
let destination = __dirname + '/../dash-metrics-server/target/metrics-dash';
let options = {
overwrite: true
};
fs.copy(source, destination, options, err => {
if (err) return console.error(err) {
console.log('Copy build success!');
}
})
});
}
}

So I know this question is very old at this point, but I was running into this endless loop issue again recently and found a couple of solutions.
Not the cleanest method, but if you add an "assets" folder, which can be completely empty, to the root of your project, it seems to only compile after your sources folder changes.
The better method I have found is within the webpack config. The original poster mentioned about using ignored which does seem to fix the issue if you instruct webpack to watch file changes after the initial build and to ignore your dist/output folder...
module.exports = {
//...
watch: true,
watchOptions: {
ignored: ['**/dist/**', '**/node_modules'],
},
};

Vue.js / webpack: how do I clear out old bundle main-*.js files when hot-reload transpiles them?

I'm using Vue.js to make an SPA application with Django and I transpile, uglify, and bundle the code using webpack (specifically webpack-simple from vue-cli setup).
I use the following to "watch" and hot-reload the code:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/webpack --config webpack.config.js --watch
The problem is every time I change the code and it gets built it generates a new bundle .js file and updates webpack-stats.json to point to that one, but doesn't delete the old ones. How do I have it delete the old (useless) files?
webpack.config.js:
var path = require("path")
var webpack = require('webpack')
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker')
function resolve (dir) {
return path.join(__dirname, dir)
}
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
// entry point of our app.
// assets/js/index.js should require other js modules and dependencies it needs
entry: './src/main',
output: {
path: path.resolve('./static/bundles/'),
filename: "[name]-[hash].js",
},
plugins: [
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
compress: {
warnings: false
},
sourceMap: true
}),
],
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: 'babel-loader'}, // to transform JSX into JS
{test: /\.vue$/, loader: 'vue-loader'}
],
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.vue', '.json'],
alias: {
'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js',
'#': resolve('src')
}
},
}
webpack-stats.json:
{
"status":"done",
"chunks":{
"main":[
{
"name":"main-faa72a69b29c1decd182.js",
"path":"/Users/me/Code/projectname/static/bundles/main-faa72a69b29c1decd182.js"
}
]
}
}
Also what's a good way to add this to git/source control? Otherwise it changes everytime and I have to add it like so:
$ git add static/bundles/main-XXXXX.js -f
which gets annoying.
Any pointers? Thanks!

You need clean-webpack-plugin github link
First install it:
npm i clean-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Then in webpack.config.js add these lines(I have added comments the lines I added):
var path = require("path")
var webpack = require('webpack')
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker')
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require('clean-webpack-plugin'); // require clean-webpack-plugin
function resolve (dir) {
return path.join(__dirname, dir)
}
// the path(s) that should be cleaned
let pathsToClean = [
path.resolve('./static/bundles/'), // same as output path
]
// the clean options to use
let cleanOptions = {
root: __dirname,
exclude: [], // add files you wanna exclude here
verbose: true,
dry: false
}
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
// entry point of our app.
// assets/js/index.js should require other js modules and dependencies it needs
entry: './src/main',
output: {
path: path.resolve('./static/bundles/'),
filename: "[name]-[hash].js",
},
plugins: [
new CleanWebpackPlugin(pathsToClean, cleanOptions), // add clean-webpack to plugins
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
compress: {
warnings: false
},
sourceMap: true
}),
],
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: 'babel-loader'}, // to transform JSX into JS
{test: /\.vue$/, loader: 'vue-loader'}
],
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.vue', '.json'],
alias: {
'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js',
'#': resolve('src')
}
},
}
And that's it, now every time you will run npm run build, the plugin will delete the static/bundles/ folder then build, so all your previous files will get removed, only new files will be there. It won't remove old files while watching with npm run watch

The current latest version does not need any options passed in for most cases. Consult the documentation for more specifics https://www.npmjs.com/package/clean-webpack-plugin
const { CleanWebpackPlugin } = require('clean-webpack-plugin');
const webpackConfig = {
plugins: [
/**
* All files inside webpack's output.path directory will be removed once, but the
* directory itself will not be. If using webpack 4+'s default configuration,
* everything under <PROJECT_DIR>/dist/ will be removed.
* Use cleanOnceBeforeBuildPatterns to override this behavior.
*
* During rebuilds, all webpack assets that are not used anymore
* will be removed automatically.
*
* See `Options and Defaults` for information
*/
new CleanWebpackPlugin(),
],
};
module.exports = webpackConfig;

You should adjust webpack so a new bundle is only being created when actually building for production.
From the webpack-simple vue-cli template, you'll see that uglifying and minifying only take place when it is set to a production env, not a dev env:
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'
// http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
NODE_ENV: '"production"'
}
}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
compress: {
warnings: false
}
}),
new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
minimize: true
})
])
}
