base64 encoded output???

[terebentina]

I am getting base64 encoded code when using 1.5.0/1.5.1 (with webpack 1 and webpack-hot-middleware). Works just fine with 1.2.0 - 1.4.0.
So, basically, in dev mode, when I go to http://localhost:3000/static/app.js I should see something like

/******/ (function(modules) { // webpackBootstrap
/******/    var parentHotUpdateCallback = this["webpackHotUpdate"];
/******/    this["webpackHotUpdate"] = 
....

instead I get

"LyoqKioqKi8gKGZ1bmN0aW9uKG1vZHVs...
...
...qKiovIF0pOw=="

which is the base64 encoding of the app code.
Any idea what's going on?

Any idea what's going on?

No idea. Are you using webpack-hot-middleware or webpack-dev-middleware?

[terebentina]

Both, in a pretty standard way:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development') {
    const devConfig = require('./webpack.config.dev');
    const testConfig = require('./webpack.config.test');
    const testsCompiler = webpack(testConfig);

    testsCompiler.watch({}, (err) => {
        if (err) {
            return console.log(err);
        }
        console.log('Test file bundled');
    });

    const compiler = webpack(devConfig);
    app.use(require('webpack-dev-middleware')(compiler, {
        noInfo: true,
        publicPath: devConfig.output.publicPath,
        stats: { colors: true },
    }));

    app.use(require('webpack-hot-middleware')(compiler, {
        log: console.log,
        path: '/__webpack_hmr',
        heartbeat: 10 * 1000,
    }));
}

Only non-standard thing is that I am using restify instead of express

+1, same with my restify. Had to change to webpack-dev-server

Is there any fix on this problem?

Do you also have this problem without webpack-hot-middleware?

I'm closing this issue because of inactivity. Feel free to comment, and we can always re-open it again.

This looks very much like a webpack-hot-middleware error, but if anyone can provide a simple repo so I can reproduce it I'm willing to help you.
