Not working with Webpack Dashboard (Works now)

[deadcoder0904]

pnpm version: 1.32.0

Expected behavior:

Webpack Dashboard must work

Actual behavior:

Webpack Dashboard does not work

Additional information:

• node -v prints: v9.5.0
• Windows, OS X, or Linux?: OS X High Sierra 10.13.3

Things that I tried doing

After running I got error -

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-traverse'

so I created pnpmfile.js with following contents -

"use strict";
module.exports = {
  hooks: {
    readPackage
  }
};

function readPackage(pkg) {
  if (pkg.name === "webpack-dashboard") {
    Object.assign(pkg.dependencies, {
      "babel-traverse": "6"
    });
  }
  return pkg;
}

But it still throws error. Also this time, the dependency babel-traverse exists in the package.json

Also take a look at #1022 if you haven't already as it will reduce huge number of issues & save me & others a ton of disk space 😉 otherwise I have to keep deleting projects after completing 😂

For now I am using Jarvis which works perfectly fine with pnpm but its in the browser whereas Webpack Dashboard is in the Command Line.

I don't know how to use webpack dashboard. Do you have a repo that will help to reproduce the issue?

[deadcoder0904]

Yep I'll put it on Github

I just made one with the tiniest configuration 👉 https://github.com/deadcoder0904/webpack-pnpm

After installing, just run pnpm start

this hook seems to help:

module.exports = {
  hooks: {
    readPackage (pkg) {
      if (pkg.name === 'inspectpack') {
        pkg.dependencies['babel-traverse'] = '^6.26.0'
      }
      return pkg
    }
  }
}

inspectpack should add babel-traverse to its package.json because it is used here

I think I got it now, how to do debug this I'll send a PR.

So you basically traverse all the code or is there a script that finds packages that are not in package.json ?

[deadcoder0904]

It works now without pnpmfile.js. Zoltan can you answer the above question

there is no such script. I wanted to make one but didn't finish it yet. Here's the code: https://github.com/pnpm/node-modules-check

it is not hard to find these errors when code fails. Basically there was an error message like this:

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-traverse'
  at /node_modules/.registry.npmjs.org/inspectpack/2.2.3/node_modules/inspectpack/lib/actions/parse
