Error : "Expecting single root statement in program"?

[zabojad]

Hi!

I'm trying the haxe-loader for the first time. I am facing the below issue when trying to run my project in webpack-dev-server. Any idea why?

$ node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --config webpack.config.dev.js
haxe -D webpack_namespace=build-web -main myproj.Boot -js /var/folders/mc/2kyt0cbn12d95zcg5wzb0sj80000gn/T/tmp-56505G9un2hNdyd9X.js -cp src -lib js-kit -lib haxe-loader -lib react -lib react-addons -debug

/Users/thomas/wksp_myproj/myproj/node_modules/haxe-modular/tool/bin/split.js:400
				throw new js__$Boot_HaxeError("Expecting single root statement in program");
				^

If I comment the lines 400 -> 402 in node_modules/haxe-modular/tool/bin/split.js, it works. But I'm not sure what those lines were supposed to do...

else {
    throw new js__$Boot_HaxeError("Expecting single root statement in program");
}

@elsassph do you want to comment on this? (@zabojad, so you know split.js comes from the haxe-modular repo and Philippe knows much more about that then I do!)

Could you also post the hxml file you're using?

[zabojad]

Hi there !

My hxml is pretty much standard:

-main myproj.Boot
-js app/myproj.js
-cp src
-lib js-kit
-lib haxe-loader
-lib react
-lib react-addons
-debug

[elsassph]

What version Haxe are you using?

[zabojad]

$ haxe -v
Haxe Compiler 3.4.2 - (C)2005-2017 Haxe Foundation

I can't install the 3.4.3 yet because of

[elsassph]

Can you share a sample project?

[elsassph]

This is fixed in haxe-modular now, requires an update of the modular dependency to 0.6.0 in haxe-loader: elsassph/haxe-modular#27

[zabojad]

Nice, thank you Philippe! Sorry for not having answered earlier...

[elsassph]

I hope that's the solution for you though...

[zabojad]

I'll come back to it at the end of this week and confirm weither it's fixed or not after having updated haxe-modular. By the way, how should I do this? If haxe-modular is already installed for my project, then haxe-loader will use it or will it install its own version of haxe-modular?

[elsassph]

You can point on my fork of haxe-loader to try it

[jasononeil]

@zabojad this is now released as haxe-loader@0.4.1

[zabojad]

@jasononeil @elsassph just for your information, the issue doesn't show up anymore with haxe-loader@0.4.1
