Resolves #703

Tests: ✔️ Node 10 | ✔️ Node 12

8.0.0 was released a week ago, maybe we should go for that one instead?

Also, should we allow multiple versions instead of only the latest one? This would avoid forcing people to upgrade, especially since 8.0.0 does not seem to be compatible with Typescript 2.x anymore.

Typescript 2.x anymore

Typescript 2.x is EOLed since years.

Using newer loader will cause encore throw a warning message about using too new version. However this PR doesn't seem to make any other changes than package.json.

Did you double check this will also remove the warning message posted during build?

The ts-loader version is enforced in Encore (https://github.com/symfony/webpack-encore/blob/main/lib/features.js#L68), so:

• if you upgrade Encore and you use ts-loader < 8, you will have a warning message
• if you upgrade Encore and you already used ts-loader 8, everything will be fine
• if you upgrade Encore and ts-loader release a new major version (9) and you use it, you will have a warning message (as expected)

If I want use new ts-loader version what I should upgrade?
symfony/webpack-encore-bundle composer package or @symfony/webpack-encore npm module? Maybe both?

[weaverryan]

Actually, ts-loader should directly be in YOUR package.json file, so you can upgrade it directly - that’s all you need :)

Thanks @weaverryan for fast response...
Right... I have ts-loader in my package.json... when I upgraded this package to version ^9.2.2 then I see: Webpack Encore requires version ^8.0.0 of ts-loader (...) warning.
My idea was try to upgrade also webpack-encore ... but Im not sure what I should upgrade: composer package or npm module...

But when I think about it now... I can actually update both :) I was just wondering if it enough to update only the npm module, or do I need to update composer package as well.

PS. I love your tutorials ;)
