Webpack style-loader / css-loader: url() path resolution not working
You can turn off processing of url()
rules, btw. I have no idea, why this is a default behavior.
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
...
url: false,
}
},
it took me around 5 days of work to understand how this webpack mess works. I have to be honest I can say that this is one of those things that I really do not understand why they are "defacto" tools of the moment. I can't understand how difficult it can be just to make the config files work as it should, in gulp took me 1 hour to do the same.
My problem was that all the url() rules (including fonts and images) were being loaded by css-loader as [object Module], and they where exported by file-loader but never loaded, so if I added ?url=false to the css-loader it never copied the files and export them. I have to say this was a totally PITA, but I got it working, and I hope it works for somebody else in the world, this was made with webpack 4.
