Error: Can't resolve 'normalize-url' in ./node_modules/css-hot-loader/hotModuleReplacement.js

[Keni]

I am running into some issues and running out of ideas what cause them:

ERROR in ./node_modules/css-hot-loader/hotModuleReplacement.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'normalize-url' in './node_modules/css-hot-loader'
 @ ./node_modules/css-hot-loader/hotModuleReplacement.js 1:19-43
 @ ./project/src/App.scss
 @ multi ./project/src/App.ts ./project/src/App.scss

The application launch, yet seeing the following issues in inspector:

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous> (external "normalize-url":1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap 18c624366c5c13843b65:677)
    at fn (bootstrap 18c624366c5c13843b65:87)

    at Object.defineProperty.value (bootstrap 18c624366c5c13843b65:723)

And it is preventing the application initialise.

And below is how I configured the use of css-hot-loader in my webpack.config;

{
    test : /\.(css|sass|scss)$/,
    exclude : /node_modules/,
    use : ['css-hot-loader'].concat(ExtractText.extract({
        fallback : 'style-loader',
        use : [
            {
                loader : 'css-loader',
                options : {
                    constLoaders : 1,
                    minimize : true
                }
            },
            {
            loader : 'clean-css-loader',
                options : {
                    compatibility : 'ie8',
                    debug : true,
                    level : {
                        2 : {
                            all : true
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                loader : 'postcss-loader',
                options : {
                    plugins : loader => [
                        AutoPrefixer({
                            browsers : ['last 2 versions'],
                            cascade : false
                        })
                    ]
                }
            },
            {
                loader : 'fast-sass-loader',
                options : {
                    includePaths : [
                        'node_modules',
                        `${this.path.root.src}`
                    ]
                }
            }
        ]
    }))
}

Can you fork my example code https://github.com/shepherdwind/css-hot-loader/tree/master/examples/simple ? And modify the config, so I can reproduction the problem you meet.

Sorry, I can't find out the answer from you issue code.

[Keni]

Thanks for the quick responses.

I Forked but can't reproduce the issues.

The repos where I can reproduce the issue is here, wanna fork and take a look?

I clone you project, but which can not run fail. When I modify the App.scss, the css file webpack compiled do not change.

So I copy you config to my project, https://github.com/shepherdwind/css-hot-loader/tree/ts-example/examples/ts-example . And this project work fine, css reload have no problem.

Humm... I can still see the issue. Since we can't reproduce the issues in your sample codes, will close this issue.

but may be worth investigate
