`Can't find our webpack executable at` on Heroku about webpack-rails-buildpack HOT 12 CLOSED

Sounds like something has changed on the Heroku platform. Is someone following their changes announcements?

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Just to provide some information this fork of you build pack works https://github.com/booqable/webpack-rails-buildpack, I'm not sure which commits resolve the issue however.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

The diff is small - master...booqable:master

The problem might be due to you keeping webpack as a dependencies entry in the packages.jon, not under devDependiencies. Can you confirm that?

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Thanks it is in fact under dependencies and not devDependencies. I thought it would be a dependency and not a dev dependency however may have misunderstood. perhaps this could be clearer in the readme, it seems that this did not matter earlier on the week on heroku but now does.

I became aware of this gotcha only now, sorry. And it's curious that it worked before.

Anyway, can you confirm that it's working with that change?

I'll put a note in the README to save other (and my future self) to get confused by this again.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Im currently using a fork where all dependencies are being installed and that works. I will try moving web pack into devdependencies and switching back next week and let you know.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Ok, thanks. But I'll leave out the note until this hunch of mine is confirmed. Definitely interested to hear if that change has this effect.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Ok, I have the same problem with my app. I'm gonna pull the commit from booqable.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

Assuming cherry-picking 67cdc01 solved the problem. Please tell me if this solves the error @bitscraps, if you get a chance.

Hi @febeling / @bitscraps

I had the same issue and adding the --only=dev to npm install solved the issue for me. This is my bin/compile diff

@roshiro that's the exact change I applied as well. Thanks for confirming that, it's very helpful.

from webpack-rails-buildpack.

With @roshiro's confirmation I'm closing this now. Please reopen in case.
