Installs loaders that are already installed in sub-module about install-webpack-plugin HOT 4 OPEN

First, what wrapper are you using?

Second, in you project, what happens when you run:

$ node
> require("css-loader")

from install-webpack-plugin.

@ericlemmons The wrapper is called Abacus, it's a tool at Netflix that's not been open-sourced yet. I'm away from my computer, I'll check back in when I run the command as asked.

@jameswomack From the way you make it sound, css-loader is managed by Abacus (meaning your configs never have to worry about setting it as a loader), but this project sees a request for css-loader and installs it, as it's unable to find it.

What my worry is is that the dependency is at ./node_modules/@netflix/abacus/node_modules/css-loader or similar, in which case a root-level require("css-loader") will fail because it's not in the root. (This would only be a problem on npm@v2!)

So, in addition to trying require("css-loader") locally, I'd need to know your npm & node version just to be sure.

Thanks!

Hi! Me and @pirelenito are trying to add this to Sagui - you can see it in PR 247 - and we are having the same issue (for every webpack loader). In our case, I can verify that css-loader et al are installed flat in node_modules, yet they are not being picked up.

Doing import 'css-loader' results in this error, which is what I would expect:
