How to solve: dll plugin: supply an array as entry error

[hyalkaf]

Not sure if this is the best place to report this issue though it would be a good start.

I have cloned this boilerplate a long time ago and made lots of changes to it and the change that I made related to this issue was using multiple windows.

Recently, I pulled from upstream to get all the updates. Whenever I try to run npm run build-dll I get this error: DllPlugin: supply an Array as entry. Turns out that in my base config (webpack.config.base.js) I have entry points as strings not arrays which throws this exception with that error message. This to me seems like a bug and I would like to report it in the webpack project but thought I would share it with you guys since it happened after updating from this repo.

How my entry object used to look like:
entry: { bundle: './app/index.jsx', worker: './app/worker.jsx', worker2: './app/worker2.jsx' }

How it looks like now:
entry: { bundle: ['./app/index.jsx'], worker: ['./app/worker.jsx'], worker2: ['./app/worker2.jsx'] }

This is the snippet from the node_modules/webpack/lib/DllPlugin.js file that throws the error:

function itemToPlugin(item, name) {
  if(Array.isArray(item))
    return new DllEntryPlugin(context, item, name);
  else 
    throw new Error("DllPlugin: supply an Array as entry");
}
