flags: 'g' not working

[inzanez]

Hi

I've been trying to get string-replace-loader to work with the 'g' flag.

...

    loader: 'string-replace-loader',
    query: {
      search: 'REST_API',
      replace: 'test',
      flags: 'g'
    }

That doesn't seem to work out. If I remove the 'g' flag and set '' or 'i' as flag, it works perfectly. But 'g' flag always brings back the following error:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader?sourceMap!./~/vue-loader/lib/style-compiler?{"id":"data-v-84da6350","scoped":false,"hasInlineConfig":false}!./~/vue-loader/lib/selector.js?type=styles&index=0!./~/string-replace-loader?{"search":{},"replace":"test","flags":"g"}!./src/components/something/Test.vue

Any idea what might be wrong here?oO

+1 on this.

    {
        test: /\.(js|vue)$/,
        loader: 'string-replace-loader',
        enforce: 'pre',
        query: {
          search: '__API__',
          replace: 'https://localhost:8082',
          flags: 'g'
        }
      }

@derekshull: Maybe as a workaround:
node_modules/string-replace-loader/index.js:
I changed line 7:
options.search = new RegExp(options.search, options.flags);
to
options.search = new RegExp('__API__', 'g');

I know it's not a fix but it works for meantime ;-)

@derekshull @inzanez I have created a new issue with a possible workaround - #31

i've also tried

        query: {
          search: '@@basepath'
          ,replace: './public'
          ,flags: 'g'
        }

and

        query: {
          multiple:[
            {
              search: '@@basepath'
              ,replace: './public'
              ,flags: 'g'
            }
        }

both failed

everyone: try this "webpack-replace-loader" .
this loader wrote by me.

sorry for the delayed reply. this was caused by the bug when options being overwritten, while they should remain immutable. fixed in v2.0.0 released recently
