wrangler and webpack

I'm having issues trying to use wrangler 3 with webpack - the issue is described here - https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/3764, but no reply for two weeks. Help would be much appreciated. I'm effectively blocked from moving forward by this.

Oops, sorry, missed that...

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

np project hasn't been touched for 2 years, hence I'm upgrading to latest wrangler etc. and ran into this problem

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

Hm, you might need to rebuild at least part of it. While it might work if you just deployed it with wrangler@1 now, it looks like a lot of the plugins that you use don't directly translate over.

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

I'd note too that the issue seems to be arising from a dependency, jsonc-parser

npm

jsonc-parser

Scanner and parser for JSON with comments.. Latest version: 3.2.0, last published: a year ago. Start using jsonc-parser in your project by running npm i jsonc-parser. There are 513 other projects in the npm registry using jsonc-parser.

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

the plugins shouldn't matter at all - webpack just turns them into strings

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

One of them compiles Sass to CSS and the other syntax-highlights markdown files, no?

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

yes, both of which becomes strings - that's what webpack does

I'd note too that the issue seems to be arising from a dependency, jsonc-parser

which is a dependency of typescript itself!!! are you suggesting I can't use typescript?

I'll also note that if remove the loads for scss and markdown, I still get that error

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

Sorry, I didn't mean that they were causing the error

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

@HardAtWork it might help if you try to build a minimal project with wranglerjs-compat-webpack-plugin - I think you'll get the same error provided you use typescript

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

I was just trying to say that because the guide involves upgrading to v2(and the current version is v3), I'm not sure it is compatible, so I was trying to find a way for you to migrate away from using webpack entirely...

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

yes, I see that, but I need webpack as you can see - precisely because I need those files does that mean there's no way to use webpack with wrangler 3?

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

There is, but as far as I know, it isn't an officially supported thing, so you would probably have to manage the build yourself.

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

that's fine, can you point to instructions?

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

That's what I mean. Since there aren't any instructions, you would have to bodge your way through yourself.

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

is there an example somewhere?

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

Not that I know of, though there might be some on Github

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

😞

Hello, I’m Allie!•17mo ago

Though I would note too that while you do use webpack for Sass compilation and Markdown Highlighting, it shouldn't be too difficult to find esbuild plugins that do the same Which is generally more supported.

samuelcolvinOP•17mo ago

makes sense thanks for the input it would be great if someone could update the docs to note that wranglerjs-compat-webpack-plugin doesn't work with wrangler v3, and reply to the issue too this kind of thing would improve DX a lot

Here's a really basic webpack config we use to build a worker with an older project, without the compat plugin:

require('dotenv').config();

const path = require('path');

const webpack = require('webpack');
let devMode = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';

module.exports = function(mode) {
    if(mode === 'production') {
        devMode = false;
    }
    if(mode === 'development') {
        devMode = true;
    }
    const config = {
        target: 'webworker',
        devtool: false,
        entry: './src/worker/index.js',
        output: {
            path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/worker/dist'),
            filename: 'worker.js',
        },
        mode: 'production',
        module: {
            rules: [
                {
                    test: /\.m?js$/,
                    exclude: /(node_modules)/,
                    use: {
                        loader: 'babel-loader',
                    },
                },
            ],
        },
        plugins: [],
    };
    if(devMode) {
        // stuff?
    }
    return config;
};

require('dotenv').config();

const path = require('path');

const webpack = require('webpack');
let devMode = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';

module.exports = function(mode) {
    if(mode === 'production') {
        devMode = false;
    }
    if(mode === 'development') {
        devMode = true;
    }
    const config = {
        target: 'webworker',
        devtool: false,
        entry: './src/worker/index.js',
        output: {
            path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/worker/dist'),
            filename: 'worker.js',
        },
        mode: 'production',
        module: {
            rules: [
                {
                    test: /\.m?js$/,
                    exclude: /(node_modules)/,
                    use: {
                        loader: 'babel-loader',
                    },
                },
            ],
        },
        plugins: [],
    };
    if(devMode) {
        // stuff?
    }
    return config;
};

Which is then invoked with cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --progress --mode=production --env production -c webpack.worker.config.js, and wrangler.toml has:

main = "./src/worker/dist/worker.js"

main = "./src/worker/dist/worker.js"

It's an older project so I've not refactored it to esbuild or something more modern, but if you really want to use webpack, a config like that should get you started 🙂

Your node version is way too old for modern tooling. You need to upgrade to at least node 16
