@MetaMemoryT You need setup file-loader, also please describe issue more verbosely

[MetaMemoryT]

Could this be because mini-css-extract-plugin cannot parse a symbol with double "__" underscores?
This is the line where the parser fails I think:

.pswp__button {

[alexander-akait]

@MetaMemoryT Looks you have invalid configuration, we use photoswipe and all works fine

[danwild]

Yep - I think this tends to crop up when people use the mini-css-extract-plugin to processes css which references other resources like png's, svg's etc. which are not otherwise configured to be handled by webpack.

You probably need to add something like:

{
  test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|png|jpg|gif|ico)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
  loader: 'file-loader'
}

@danwild Thank you so much. I was trying to import icomoon style and first I thought there might be some issue with style-loader. It turns out the font imports were the problem (woff, ttf, otf).

This error is pretty misleading and meaningless though, a file path would've been useful:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ModuleParseError: Module parse failed: Unexpected character '' (1:0)

@orosznyet add --stats-children and it would have reported the file types or at least it did for me. I had the same issue, add to add loads for fonts and images.
I had to add

      {
        test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|png|jpg|gif|ico)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader'
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        test: /\.(woff(2)?|ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader'
          }
        ]
      }
