Magic Header not present

[KeweiCodes]

Hi there, I keep getting the following error with no idea why or what it is, any help guys?

ERROR

in ./app/src/wasm/factorial.wasm (./node_modules/arraybuffer-loader!./app/src/wasm/factorial.wasm)
Module parse failed: magic header not detected
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Could you please share your wasm file?

Could you please share your wasm file?

That's sounds good.

@KeweiCodes
I want to reproduce your issues. Could you share your information?

[xtuc]

My guess is that either ./app/src/wasm/factorial.wasm is not a wasm binary or that it wasn't imported correctly (arraybuffer-loader?).

[KeweiCodes]

In terms of the WASM file, I was using this example by wasm-loader.

The funny thing is that when I renamed the .wasm extension to something else, everything worked without error.

[KeweiCodes]

@pine sorry I'll don't have access to that atm, will get back to you soon!

@KeweiCodes

I found the issue. webpack/webpack#7264 (comment)
How about using the following settings?

{
  test: /\.wasm$/,
  type: 'javascript/auto',
  loaders: ['arraybuffer-loader'],
}

[KeweiCodes]

@pine wow that worked! Thank you! But that's a very strange behaviour by Webpack.

[KeweiCodes]

@pine should this be mentioned in the docs here?

[pine]

@KeweiCodes I'll update README.md. Thank you!

[glebmachine]

@pine!

How do i provide type in inline mode?
Like: !!arraybuffer-loader?type=javascript/auto./zxing.wasm

I'm using angular-cli, which controls webpack config under the hood. So, will be great to provide type without changing webpack config. Is it possible?

[NothingEverHappens]

As a workaround, changing file extension to anything else solved the issue for me.
