Trying to use reactjs + django webpack loader + webpack 4.
Everything builds perfectly main and other chunks files are generated successfully.
Unfortunately, page getting blank and its seems like corresponding chunk file is not calling/loading. only laoding main chunk. Is there anything missing in my webpack config?

I have a Django app and am using Django's i18n module to help translating my strings. For translating JavaScript, I run
python manage.py makemessages -d djangojs
which adds all marked strings to a .po file. This works quite well for all my boring .js files in my static folder. However, we are starting to use webpack to pack some typescript (.tsx files) into a bundle.js file. This file is copied to the static folder after building, so I expected Djangos makemessages to pick up the strings from it as well. However, it seems that the strings are not parsed correctly, because most of the code in bundle.js is simply strings wrapped in eval().
I believe this means that I need webpack to - in addition to the bundle.js file - create a .js file for each .tsx file without all of the eval() nonsense, so that django's makemessages can parse it properly. I have no idea how to do this, however. My current config looks like this
var path = require("path");
var WebpackShellPlugin = require('webpack-shell-plugin');
var config = {
entry: ["./src/App.tsx"],
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "build"),
filename: "bundle.js"
},
devtool: 'source-map',
resolve: {
extensions: [".ts", ".tsx", ".js"]
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.tsx?$/,
loader: "ts-loader",
exclude: /node_modules/
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: [{
loader: "style-loader" // creates style nodes from JS strings
}, {
loader: "css-loader" // translates CSS into CommonJS
}, {
loader: "sass-loader" // compiles Sass to CSS
}]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'style-loader!css-loader'
}
]
},
plugins: [
new WebpackShellPlugin({
onBuildEnd:['./cp_to_static.sh'],
dev: false // Needed to trigger on npm run watch
})
]
};
module.exports = config;
So how can I make webpack spit out these files?
Is this the right thing to do, or is there a way to make Django parse bundle.js properly?
Turns out that all of the eval nonsense was generated by webpacks "watch" function. When simply running webpack for building the script, it works as expected
Running Karma + Jasmine Tests with RequireJS -- Getting off the ground
Help! . . . _ _ _ . . . SOS!
Currently, I have an exercise project up for getting comfortable with KarmaJS -- and Unit Testing, at large. The broad issue is that I really have no transparent view of what Karma is doing behind the scenes, and I can't seem to find adequate documentation in relevant areas. Without further delay...

Questions & Descriptions
Key points I would love to hear answers for are
what does { pattern: '...', include: true|false } do?
best way to exclude all the extra stuff inside the bower directories.
what files do I need to include in the test-main.js file?
what files do I need to include in the karma.conf.js file?
what does test-main.js actually do; what's it for?
The times I receive errors & issues is as soon as I wrap my spec in a define(...) call -- event when I give the module an ID -- define('someId', function(){ ... }) -- do I need to return something out of this module, as it is a define call?
Other times, I receive the 'ol ERROR: 'There is no timestamp for /base/src/app.js!'. "Timestamp, of course! How silly of me..." -- what in the world does this mean?! Sometimes I get the infamous "Executed 0 of 0 ERROR" -- I could also use some clarity here, please. Really, I get plenty of ERROR: '...no timestamp...' errors -- and even 404s when it seems I should be pulling that library in with the karma.conf.js files config...???
It even seems that usually when I explicitly tell karma to excludesrc/app.js I still get 404s and errors.
tl;dr
Obviously, I'm a bit of a confused novice about Karma and *DD at large...
I can run test-test-file.js fine when my karma.conf.js files array looks like [ 'test-main.js', 'test/spec/test-test-file.js' ] -- but, still, if I wrap my test in a RequireJS define call I get the "Mismatching anonymous define()" error mentioned above.
It seems that when I add { pattern: '...', include: false } then karma just doesn't add any of my files for the given pattern whatsoever (???).
If someone can even simply direct me toward how to use RequireJS with Karma -- namely so that I can just wrap my tests in a define/require call and pull in the module I want to test... That would be greatly appreciated.
As its somewhat difficult to keep these types of questions short and still provide adequate information, I hope I didn't make it too long.
EDIT
After reading the answer from glepretre and some fiddling on my own, I reconfigured my project as follows:
Moved test-main.js to test/test-main.js,
renamed test-test-file.js to testFileSpec.js -- moved it from test/spec to test/,
karma.conf.js:
...
// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
files: [
{pattern: 'lib/**/*.js', included: false},
{pattern: 'src/**/*.js', included: false},
{pattern: 'test/**/*Spec.js', included: false},
'test/test-main.js'
],
....
test/test-main.js:
/* **************** HOW COME THE DEFAULT (Karma-generated) CONFIGURATION DOES ***NOT WORK???
var allTestFiles = [];
var TEST_REGEXP = /(spec|test)\.js$/i;
var pathToModule = function(path) {
return path.replace(/^\/base\//, '').replace(/\.js$/, '');
};
Object.keys(window.__karma__.files).forEach(function(file) {
if (TEST_REGEXP.test(file)) {
// Normalize paths to RequireJS module names.
allTestFiles.push(pathToModule(file));
}
});
*/
var tests = [];
for (var file in window.__karma__.files) {
if (/Spec\.js$/.test(file)) {
tests.push(file);
}
}
require.config({
// Karma serves files under /base, which is the basePath from your config file
baseUrl: '/base/src',
paths: {},
shim: {},
// dynamically load all test files
//deps: allTestFiles,
//

});
I am now running Unit Tests successfully! Special Thanks to glepretre & all other contributors.
Thanks for any insight at all :)
OK, I will try to address each question at a time:
Question 1
what does { pattern: '...', included: true|false } do?
Karma's default behavior is to:
find all files matching the pattern (mandatory property)
watch them for changes (watched option) in order to restart your unit tests to give you live result when you are editing your code (works if only you leave the default autoWatch default value to true).
serve them using its own webserver (served option)
include them in the browser using <script> (included option)
So, in the files array of the karma config you can use default behavior by adding only string patterns:
files: [
// this will match all your JS files
// in the src/ directory and subdirectories
'src/**/*.js'
]
Or use the full object syntax to customize each option:
files: [
{pattern: 'src/**/*.js', watched: true, served: true, included: false}
]
Using requireJS, you DO NOT want them to be included because it will be in conflict with requireJS behavior!
Included. Description: Should the files be included in the browser using <script> tag? Use false if you want to load them manually, eg. using Require.js.
from karma/config/files docs
NB: Pay attention to the order in which you add the files/patterns in the array. It matters! For more understanding, set logLevel: config.LOG_DEBUG in your karma config.
Question 2
what files do I need to include in the karma.conf.js file?
At least all required files for the proper functioning of your components for unit testing.
Basically, all files listed in your define([]) and require() blocks.
Question 3
best way to exclude all the extra stuff inside the bower directories.
What are you trying to do exactly?
Based on what I wrote before, you can see that you can add selectively the files you will need in your tests.
I use to add the pattern '/bower_components/**/*.js' and even '/bower_components/**/*.html' when my bower packages are using templates. I never noticed any significant performance issue if that's what you are worried about... Up to you to define the file patterns you will need.
Question 4 & 5
what does test-main.js actually do; what's it for?
what files do I need to include in the test-main.js file?
The purpose of the test-main.js file is to find and load your test files before starting Karma. It connects the dots between Karma and requireJS
You must choose a convention to name your test files and then define the TEST_REGEXP to match all of them.
The "official" angular style guide and best practices for app structure recommends using the suffix *_test.js.
EDIT: Your regexp is not working because it is defined to catch "spec.js" || "test.js" at the end or your spec file name is ending by "file.js" ;) Please see http://regex101.com/r/bE9tV9/1
One more thing
I hope I was clear enough. You can have a look at our starter app structure for our projects using Angular + Require: angular-requirejs-ready. It's already set up and tested with both Karma and Protractor.
I'm hopelessly trying to make the Dijit template inlining functionality of Dojo builds for my AMD project work with no luck yet ...
The particular issue isn't the inlining of the HTML templates themselves, but the fact that they are still requested with Ajax (XHR) after being successfully inlined.
Templates are inlined the following way :
"url:app/widgets/Example/templates/example.html": '<div>\n\tHello World!</div>'
The Dijit widget itself, after building, defines templates like this :
define("dojo/_base/declare,dijit/_Widget,dojo/text!./templates/example.html".split(","), function (f, g, d) {
return f("MyApp.Example", [g], {
templateString: d,
});
});
I tried to build with :
the shrinksafe / closure optimiser
relative / absolute paths
using the old cache() method
using the templatePath property
but even after having run a successful build (0 errrors and a few warnings) where the templates were inlined, Dojo / Dijit still makes Ajax requests to these resources.
Here is my build profile :
var profile = {
basePath: '../src/',
action: 'release',
cssOptimize: 'comments',
mini: true,
optimize: 'closure',
layerOptimize: 'closure',
stripConsole: 'all',
selectorEngine: 'acme',
internStrings: true,
internStringsSkipList: false,
packages: [
'dojo',
'dijit',
'dojox',
'app'
],
layers: {
'dojo/dojo': {
include: [
'app/run'
],
boot: true,
customBase: true
},
},
staticHasFeatures: {
'dojo-trace-api': 0,
'dojo-log-api': 0,
'dojo-publish-privates': 0,
'dojo-sync-loader': 0,
'dojo-xhr-factory': 0,
'dojo-test-sniff': 0
}
};
Due to this issue my application is completely unusable because there are so many files to download separately (browsers have a limit on the number of parallel connections).
Thank you very much in advance !
UPDATE :
The two lines loading dojo.js and the run.js in my index.html :
<script data-dojo-config='async: 1, tlmSiblingOfDojo: 0, isDebug: 1' src='/public/dojo/dojo.js'></script>
<script src='/public/app-desktop/run.js'></script>
Here is the new build-profile :
var profile = {
basePath: '../src/',
action: 'release',
cssOptimize: 'comments',
mini: true,
internStrings: true,
optimize: 'closure',
layerOptimize: 'closure',
stripConsole: 'all',
selectorEngine: 'acme',
packages : [
'dojo',
'dijit',
'app-desktop'
],
layers: {
'dojo/dojo': {
include: [
'dojo/request/xhr',
'dojo/i18n',
'dojo/domReady',
'app-desktop/main'
],
boot: true,
customBase: true
}
},
staticHasFeatures: {
'dojo-trace-api': 0,
'dojo-log-api': 0,
'dojo-publish-privates': 0,
'dojo-sync-loader': 0,
'dojo-xhr-factory': 0,
'dojo-test-sniff': 0
}
};
My new run.js file :
require({
async: 1,
isDebug: 1,
baseUrl: '/public',
packages: [
'dojo',
'dijit',
'dojox',
'saga',
'historyjs',
'wysihtml5',
'app-shared',
'jquery',
'jcrop',
'introjs',
'app-desktop'
],
deps: [
'app-desktop/main',
'dojo/domReady!'
],
callback: function (Main) {
debugger;
var main = new Main();
debugger;
main.init();
}
});
and my main.js file looks like this :
define([
'dojo/_base/declare',
'app-desktop/widgets/Application',
'app-desktop/config/Config',
'saga/utils/Prototyping',
'dojo/window',
'dojo/domReady!'
], function (declare, Application, ConfigClass, Prototyping, win) {
return declare([], {
init: function() {
// ... other stuff
application = new Application();
application.placeAt(document.body);
// ... some more stuff
}
});
});
In build-mode, I get the following error :
GET http://localhost:4000/app-desktop/run.js 404 (Not Found)
which is weird because it means that the build process made it so that dojo has an external dependency rather than an a already inlined dojoConfig variable in the builded file.
In normal-mode, files get requested, but the app is never created.
In both cases none of the two debuggers set in the run.js file were run which means that the callback method was never called for some reason.
Thank you for your help !
I've printed values of requireCacheUrl and require.cache to console in the method load() of dojo/text.js. At least in my case, keys of my templates in the cache differs from lookup keys on one leading slash.
For example, I have "dojo/text!./templates/Address.html" in my widget. It present with key url:/app/view/templates/Address.html in the cache but is searched like url:app/view/templates/Address.html, causing cache miss and xhr request.
With additional slash in dojo/text.js (line 183 for version 1.9.1) it seemingly works (line would looks like requireCacheUrl = "url:/" + url).
Not sure what kind of bugs this "fix" could introduce. So, it probably worth to report this issue to dojo folks.
UPD: Well, I see you've already reported this issue. Here is the link: https://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/17458.
UPD: Don't use hack described above. It was only attempt to narrow issue. Real issue in my project was with packages and baseUrl settings. Initially I created my project based on https://github.com/csnover/dojo-boilerplate. Then fixed it as in neonstalwart's sample.
This sounds like https://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/17141. If it is, you just need to update to Dojo 1.9.1.
Despite using the Dojo build system, my app is still including a large number of javascript files which I would have hoped to be covered by the build.
Here's my build profile:
var profile = (function(){
return {
basePath: "./",
releaseDir: "release",
action: "release",
selectorEngine: "acme",
cssOptimize: "comments.keepLines",
packages:[{
name: "dojo",
location: "dojo"
},{
name: "dijit",
location: "dijit"
},{
name: "dojox",
location: "dojox"
},{
name: "my",
location: "my"
}],
layers: {
"my/admin": {
include: ['dojo/ready', 'dojo/dom', 'dojo/query', 'dojo/request/xhr', 'my/Form', 'my/Tree/Radio']
}
}
};
})();
The app is still including the following JS files on each request: my/Form.js (even though this is listed in the profile), dojo/fx/Toggler.js, dijit/_base.js, dijit/WidgetSet.js, dijit/_base/focus.js, dijit/_base/place.js, dijit/place.js, dijit/_base/popup.js, dijit/popup.js, dijit/BackgroundIframe.js, dijit/_base/scroll.js, dijit/_base/sniff.js, dijit/_base/typematic.js, dijit/typematic.js, dijit/_base/wai.js, dijit/_base/window.js.
my/Tree/Radio extends dijit/Tree, so I'm assuming a lot of the files above are dijit base files that are being loaded automatically by dijit.Tree. But surely the build tool should resolve dependencies like this and include them in the 'built' file?
I am using Dojo 1.8.3.
In dojo/fx, it dynamically looks up the Toggler with the comment
use indirection so modules not rolled into a build
Not sure why, but if you add dojo/fx/Toggler to the include of your build script, it should not make the additional xhr requests.
EDIT: Apparently dijit/Widget does something similar with dijit/_base, so you will want to add that to the includes as well.
