brunch plugin build order

[bigardone]

Problem

Hi! I'm experimenting an issue in a project, where I'm using elm-brunch along with babel-brunch. The issue is that elm-babel seems to be building first, and one of the js files is importing the main.js created by elm-brunch, which doesn't exist yet, so the build breaks due to not finding that file. I've tried arranging the npm modules to solve the build order issue, as specified in here brunch/brunch#1377 (comment), but it doesn't solve the problem. What can I do?

Information

• elm-brunch version
  elm-brunch@0.8.0

• brunch version
  brunch@2.10.9

I have the same issue, specially when running 'brunch build --production'.

[chazsconi]

@bigardone @shamanime Yes, I have the same problem too. Reverting to v0.7.0 solves the issue as I believe it was introduced by #30.

Other than #33 nothing else has been changed since then apart from updates to the README.

Perhaps a solution would be to have an option to determine when the compilation is done - in the 0.7.0 way or 0.8.0 way.

For now, I will just use 0.7.0.

[jesseshieh]

I had the same problem. Downgrading to 0.7.0 fixed it for me. Thanks you!

[nlfiedler]

It's been a while, any update on this?

[madsflensted]

If anybody can create PR where the build order is configurable then I will be happy to merge and publish.

[chazsconi]

I'm not really sure if the way that #30 changes the elm compilation to happen with the compile method to the onCompile hook is the right approach. Furthermore, I don't think having some switch to change between using compile or onCompile is appropriate as there should just be one way that works in all scenarios.

I cannot reproduce the problem that #30 tries to fix (which was related to the Brunch cache problems) - perhaps it is fixed in a different way by a later version of Brunch itself.

@stelmakh could you provide steps to reproduce the original problem in #30?

[happysalada]

had a problem where elm.js wasn't compiled at all and there was no warning.
Fell on this issue by chance and I'm super glad that reverting to 0.7 fixed it.
thanks!

@madsflensted In the absence of any reply from @stelmakh in how to reproduce the original problem that PR #30 tried to fix, and also that, as far as I can see, #30 introduced bug #38, can we just revert #30 ?

Otherwise we will be stuck with having to use v0.7.0 forever.

[madsflensted]

I will try to have a look at it.

Reverted PR 30, it is published as 0.10.0.
Can you check if this resolves this issue?

[happysalada]

I had a problem with elm not compiling at all, and it's fixed with version 0.10.0, thanks a lot!

[chazsconi]

Fixed for me also in 0.10.0 Thanks @madsflensted
