Wait for file triggering before file is finished writing about universal-webpack HOT 9 CLOSED

Just to make sure: are you having that error message with the latest version?
It used to be JSON.stringify( in the older version, but then became util.inspect(.

Also, you can add an extra debugging line in node_modules/universal-webpack/build/server.js:

        // Start webpage rendering server
        // (this module will be compiled by Webpack server-side build from './source/server.js')

        const starter = require(server_bundle_path)

console.log('@@@@@@@@@@@@', require('fs').readFileSync(server_bundle_path, 'utf8'))

And see what are the actual contents of the file.

Ok I will try this. I do have the latest version I was typing the error from memory so not quite right.

Ok here is what I got on my first try (looks like the file contents are a few blank lines?). I will try a few more times and see if I get a different result:

Error: [universal-webpack] Your server source file must export a function. Got {}

Hmm, really, two blank lines.
You can change it even further to:

console.log('@' + require('fs').readFileSync(server_bundle_path, 'utf8') + '@')

To know for sure

As for the solution, I could, for example, check for the file contents.
If it's blank, then try after a second (recursively).
I guess I'll go that route.

Tried with the second console.log options, and got no contents:

Oh, that's better. So it's not blank, it's simply empty. That makes sense. Releasing the fix.

Try the latest version and see if it works for you (in time)

Ok great thanks!
