Webpack Error while loading assets

[chocopoule]

Hi,

I made a fresh clone of your repo to give it a try. However I have the following error while running npm run server:dev

ERROR in ./assets/atlases/preload_sprites_array.png Module parse failed: e:\MyFolder\assets\atlases\preload_sprites_array.png Unexpected character '�' (1:0) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type. (Source code omitted for this binary file) @ ./src/assets.ts 30:65-116 @ ./src/states/boot.ts @ ./src/app.ts @ multi (webpack)-dev-server/client?http://localhost:9000 ./src/app.ts

My node version is v6.9.5 and I'm using windows 7

Any idea ?

Hi, sorry you're having an issue.

I'm going to assume it's due to some incompatibility between at least one of the modules/plugins and node 6.9.5, I developed with 7.5.0 and after downgrading to 6.9.5 I see the same issue...

I'll can take a look tonight and see what I can do.

Thanks,

I have been browsing the web for similar issues but I didn't find anything ...
My guess was something around file-loader ...

This will load assets
{ test: /\.(jpg|png|xml|mp3|ogg|m4a|fnt|ac3)$/, loader: 'file-loader?name=assets/[hash].[ext]' },

but example breaks with:
ncaught TypeError: url.match is not a function at Phaser.Loader.transformUrl (game.js:72307) at Phaser.Loader.fileComplete (game.js:72934) at HTMLImageElement.file.data.onload (game.js:72452)

It's a Windows thing.
change the file-loader test from /assets\//
to /assets\\/ if you're on a windows box.

Now it works.

Awesome. Thanks @ProfitWarning and @lejeremy. I haven't had a chance to look at it the last couple days like I thought. I guess Node 7 normalizes path slashes while Node 6 doesn't? I'll get that change in, either way.

Now working like a charm. Thank you guys !
