How can I make webpack compile all file in the packs folder

[ankitrg]

Currently, only the top level files are compiled and not the files inside the sub folder. How can I make the watcher look for any of the files?

[ytbryan]

There is a PR for it #201

[ankitrg]

Will I be able to gracefully upgrade these new changes to my webpacker once the PR is merged?

[ytbryan]

Assuming you are using webpacker 1.1+, It's just modification to shared.js. Hence you will need to rerun rails webpacker:install

Alternatively, you can copy this commit (https://github.com/rails/webpacker/pull/201/files) to your shared.js and start using it.

If you re-run installer later it will ignore the files if they are identical so, you can just add it as @ytbryan suggested and re-run installer whenever the gem gets updated.

The PR has been merged. Please consider closing this.

I get the following error when I replace the shared.js with the changes in the pr:

94% asset optimizationpath.js:7              
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

@ankitrg Please close this issue, this feature is in master now. You have to re-run bundle exec rails webpacker:install to replace your current shared.js
