Webpacker can't find alchemy/admin.js

[hopewise]

I am trying to use alchemy_cms with react-rails gem, which uses reactjs with webpacker, I still need to configure webpacker.yml to resolve alchemy/admin.js which I need assistance with.

Here is my webpacker.yml

# Note: You must restart bin/webpack-dev-server for changes to take effect

default: &default
  source_path: app/javascript
  source_entry_path: packs
  public_root_path: public

  compile: false
  # Additional paths webpack should lookup modules
  # ['app/assets', 'engine/foo/app/assets']
  resolved_paths: ['app/javascript/alchemy']

  # Reload manifest.json on all requests so we reload latest compiled packs
  cache_manifest: false

  # Extract and emit a css file
  extract_css: false

  # Production depends on precompilation of packs prior to booting for performance.
  compile: false

  # Extract and emit a css file
  extract_css: true

  # Cache manifest.json for performance
  cache_manifest: true

So, I tried to use resolved_paths: ['app/javascript/alchemy'] but I am getting error:

Webpacker can't find alchemy/admin.js in /Users/myuser/Documents/my-wesite/public/packs/manifest.json.

it seems that it still look for it inside the react compiled packs.

I am using ./bin/webpack-dev-server to compile locally.

any idea how to include alchemy/admin.js properly?

Which version of Alchemy, Rails, Webpacker, etc. are you using?

[hopewise]

@tvdeyen Here are they:

gem 'alchemy_cms', :github => "AlchemyCMS/alchemy_cms", :branch => "6.1-stable"
gem 'rails', '6.1.7'
webpacker (5.4.3)
ruby 3.0.3p157

Please make sure you have a file in your app/javascript folder that includes this.

// app/javascript/packs/alchemy/admin.js
import "@alchemy_cms/admin"

Also make sure that "@alchemy_cms/admin" is part of your package.json

"dependencies": {
  "@alchemy_cms/admin": "~6.1.2"
}

and that all node modules are installed

bin/yarn

Then try

bin/webpack

That should generate a file into your public/packs path

public/packs/js/alchemy/admin-1d6ff632adbf6d09fdb6.js
