incomplete manifest when webpack --watch

[gizocz]

When webpack started with --watch option, the plugin generate full manifest for the first time (OK), but when a watched fie is changed and webpack regenerate outputs, the plugin regenerate the appcache manifest, but it contains only changed files. Unchanged files processed with file-loader are not included nor files from copy-webpack-plugin.

Thanks for the report! I have some ideas on how to fix this, but i'm short on time at the moment. I'll try to get back to this ASAP.

@gizocz pardon my stupid question, but why would you use manifest in development mode?

I assume you are developing when you are watching for file changes?

I'm developing the offline app, so I would like to have the manifest also
during the development.

same problem here... missing all "assets" (file-loader, CopyWebpackPlugin) @--watch at build-nr >= 2

thx!

Maybe. If someone needs, I build my own small (typescript) loader as a workaround

(compiler: Compiler) =>
{
 let cachedAssets: string[] = []

 compiler.hooks.emit.tap('compilation', async (compilation: webpack.compilation.Compilation) =>
 {
  cachedAssets = [...cachedAssets, ...Object.keys(compilation.assets)
   .map((filePath: string) => encodeURI(filePath))
   .filter((filePath: string) => (
    cachedAssets.indexOf(filePath) == -1 &&
    !filePath.match(/.+\.map$/) &&
    !filePath.match(/.+\.hot-update\.(json|js)$/)
   ))]
   .sort()

  promisify(writeFile)('dist/public/appcache.manifest', `CACHE MANIFEST\n\n${cachedAssets.join('\n')}\n\nNETWORK:\n*\n`)
 })
},
