Static SSR not functional in v4

[Rid]

🐛 Bug Report

When following the server-side readme and using the recommended static method we end up with the following error when trying to start our dev environment:

Invariant Violation: loadable: cannot find loadable-Home in manifest

It appears that the manifest is not being populated properly.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Clone our repo: git clone https://github.com/Rid/react-cool-starter.git

and run git checkout feature/loadable-components-v4 && yarn install && yarn dev

Expected behavior

It should render the Home component.

Link to repl or repo (highly encouraged)

The project itself is a minimal starter kit: https://github.com/Rid/react-cool-starter/tree/feature/loadable-components-v4

Run npx envinfo --system --binaries --npmPackages @loadable/component,@loadable/server,@loadable/webpack-plugin,@loadable/babel-plugin --markdown --clipboard

Hello @Rid, first thank you for your issue.

I can’t checkout the project right now, but I gave a quick look. For me your problem is that you are using "webpack-dev-middleware" and you are reading manifest from a file. So the manifest is not synced.

The simplest solution for your problem is to use read the manifest from the virtual file system of "webpack-dev-middleware".

I think it is your problem, but tell me if I am wrong.

@neoziro the webpack-dev-middleware manifest only contains { main: [ 'main.css', 'main.js' ] } it looks like the code splitting is not working as the chunk files are not written to the disk either.

I'll have another look over the readme with fresh eyes, do you see any other issues?

Please be patient, I will work on a new v5 that should be better for SSR.

SSR has been completely rebuilt in v5, can you please give it a try? 🙏

I close this issue because it is now outdated.
