I recently upgraded from Webpack 3 to 4. It's now throwing an error:
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '@' You may need an
appropriate loader to handle this file type. | @import
'./scss/variables.scss'; | | * { @ ./src/index.js 1:0-22
In my styles.scss file, I am doing the following:
@import 'scss/variables.scss';
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
In my index.js file, I am only doing the following:
import './style.scss';
In my webpack.dev.js, all I changed was an addition of mode: 'development':
const StyleLintPlugin = require('stylelint-webpack-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const Dotenv = require('dotenv-webpack');
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
filename: 'public/bundle.js'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: ['babel-loader', 'eslint-loader']
},
{
test: /.scss$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(['css-loader', 'sass-loader'])
}
]
},
plugins: [
new StyleLintPlugin({
configFile: '.stylelintrc',
context: 'src',
files: '**/*.scss',
failOnError: false,
quiet: false,
syntax: 'scss'
}),
new ExtractTextPlugin('public/style.css'),
new Dotenv()
]
};
I don't know what change from Webpack 3 to 4 has caused this error.
The issue I'm having is very similar to the issue posted here: Webpack 4 Module parse failed: Unexpected character '@' (1:0)
I have been through all related stackoverflow questions and none of them helped.
