[Bug] incorrect worker file paths about worker-loader HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey sorry for the slow response. There was nothing about worker-loader in webpack.config.js initially. We decided to take another route by not loading the file as inline, but by identifying those worker files with the suffix .worker.js

This configuration in webpack module rules solved the issue for me:

{ test: /\.worker\.js$/, use: [ { loader: "worker-loader", options: { name: "/[name].js" } } ] },

We of course had to exclude those files from the regular babel processing with this
test: /^(?!.*worker).+\.js$/,

from worker-loader.

Please provide your webpack.config.js aswell

Have you tried adding a trailing slash to your publicPath in the webpack config?

from worker-loader.

If anyone else encounters this, note that you can specify the public path using the inline syntax:

import GraphqlWorker from 'worker-loader?publicPath=/!worker.js';

I prefer the worker-loader! syntax because it makes it clearer that it's a special kind of import.

It would be nice if it were possible to specify default settings for a loader in webpack.config.js (for the publicPath setting in this case) so that the inline syntax would still work without having to specify publicPath on every import. But I don't know if webpack has such a feature.

Note: In the above example, I'm setting the publicPath to the root - /, since that's what I needed in my app - I just needed it to work for routes in subfolders. If your whole app is in a subfolder then you would do something like this:

import GraphqlWorker from 'worker-loader?publicPath=/my-subdir/!worker.js';

from worker-loader.

I just also hit this issue. The workaround/fix is easy, but do you think it would be possible to fix this inside worker-loader?

Everything else in webpack seems to work ok without publicPath being slash-terminated, and it seems like an easy issue to solve.

yeah also ran into this. why does this loader assume publicPath has a trailing slash
