build --release is failing in webpack

[Em-AK]

My current workaround is to launch

cordova prepare

then

cordova compile android --release

so that webpack compiles as usual without the release flag. The outputed JS may not be optimal but it runs.

Hi @Em-AK I've been seeing similar error output when running a build release.

In my case I found running the webpack process on it's own

./node_modules/.bin/webpack --env.release

gave a more verbose error report, and the problems turned out to be Uglifyjs finding syntax errors in my vue components (I've been using ES2105 and there's no babel step in the release build, but the ES2015 is all supported by chrome so in development there were no problems. ).

The vue-loader will transpile if there's .bablerc with { "presets": ["es2015"] } in the root directory.

Are you using latest version of template?

[Em-AK]

No, I am running 1.0.6

I will upgrade to the latest version and keep you posted. Is there another way than manually updating the files that changed since 1.0.6 to upgrade ?

[centrual]

replace your project's

webpack/
hooks/

directories and

package.json
webpack.config.js

files with current version's. (check template_src folder)

Is problem fixed?

Hello @Em-AK;

I updated the dependencies and tested in my local. Please check one more time.

Have a great day!

@coedycode I updated the template, can you test with latest update?

Thank you so much 😃

@centrual I've updated my copy to the latest webpack config and hookers, with the .bablerc removed I get similar error messages to before, but with .bablerc there the build works fine.

Thanks for this great build tool btw, it's really helped me get started with phonegap.

Hello Richard; I changed uglifyjs plugin to another one. Also, i updated dependencies. So please create new project and move your project files inside it. Have a great Day!

I tested the latest version, because of that i closing the issue.
