Trying to use ts loader in happypack, getting 'loader._compiler.plugin is not a function'

[aleksclark]

What the title says, basically:

let loaders: webpack.Loader[] = [
  // Compile TypeScript
  { test: /\.ts$/, loader: 'happypack/loader?id=tsx', exclude: [ /\.(spec|e2e)\.ts$/ ] },
]

plugins.push(new HappyPack({
  id: 'tsx',
  threadPool: happyThreadPool,
  loaders: ['ts'],
}));

That's because the loader is trying to directly access webpack's compiler to register a plugin, which isn't supported in HappyPack (since webpack's compiler lives in the main process).

These loaders need to be rewritten in a way to not rely webpack's internals. I'm working on ts-loader support in #33 so you can track the progress there.

Closing as duplicate of #33.
