TypeError: Filename must be a string about babel-plugin-rewire HOT 8 CLOSED

I lied, this error is coming from the rewire plugin, not this plugin

from babel-plugin-rewire.

Well, I lied again. this error only seems to happen if I include this plugin. Still investigating...

from babel-plugin-rewire.

Might it be possible that you are using rewire.js along babel-plugin-rewire? If this is the case can you check whether the error remains if you change babel-loader?plugins=rewire&optional=runtime to
babel-lodaer?plugins=babel-plugin-rewire

from babel-plugin-rewire.

I changed it to loader: 'babel-loader?plugins=babel-plugin-rewire'. Webpack gives the warning (followed by lots of errors in rewire):

WARNING in ./~/rewire/lib/moduleEnv.js
require.extensions is not supported by webpack. Use a loader instead.

What do you mean using rewire.js along with the plugin? We do this in plenty of places in the code:

let rewire = require('rewire');

Sorry for my density - I'm not familiar with the internals of rewire - I assumed this plugin did some magic to allow require('rewire') to still work. Is that not the case? Looking at the readme it appears that the API is automatically injected into all classes that are imported? Is that correct?

Tested in a blank project, simply adding this line:

var rewire = require('rewire');

Triggers the errors/warnings:

WARNING in ./~/rewire/lib/moduleEnv.js
require.extensions is not supported by webpack. Use a loader instead.

WARNING in ./~/rewire/lib/moduleEnv.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'coffee-script' in node_modules/rewire/lib
@ ./~/rewire/lib/moduleEnv.js 103:13-37

ERROR in ./~/rewire/lib/rewire.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'module' in node_modules/rewire/lib
@ ./~/rewire/lib/rewire.js 22:13-30

However, if I add this to the webpack config in the blank project:

var RewirePlugin          = require("rewire-webpack");
....
plugins: [
      new RewirePlugin()
]

Then the bundle is valid. More investigation required...

from babel-plugin-rewire.

Something is conflicting somewhere with babel and rewire. In the large project, what's getting built to the bundle is:

exports['default'] = _Object$assign(var MyReactClass = (function (_React$Component) {

which throws the error Unexpected token var in the webpack build step. It looks like turning ES6>ES3 is getting wrapped in a rewire statement, but the syntax produced is wrong. I cannot yet reproduce this in small test project

from babel-plugin-rewire.

Have you tried the latest version (0.1.3) of babel-plugin-rewire this should fix the problem with the wrapping of the default export

from babel-plugin-rewire.

Phew, ok, looks like using the explicit name and the newest version works.
