Different behavior when using webpack2

[priyajeet]

I am using the raw-loader to inline some SVG / HTML as raw strings. With webpack it worked fine. With webpack2 I am getting:

<button>
module.exports = __webpack_public_path__ + "src/lib/icons/button.svg";
</button>

while with webpack1:

<button>
<svg>
    ...
</svg>
</button>

User error, sorry

Could you tell us what was actually wrong? I have the same issue, still looking for what I did wrong 😉.

Well, not the same, but I get module.exports = "data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aW... and I assume that, if your issue was a wrong handling of webpack, it might be similar.

My error was that I had "svg" extension accidentally listed (as part of a regex) in the file-loader entry also. An oversight.
