Will not launch browser...

[dantullis]

I cannot get this to launch a new browser or a new tab.

How to reproduce this: I downloaded the "example react-router project"(https://github.com/rackt/react-router), and webpack loads everything fine and I can navigate to localhost:8080 and all works well. However, when i install open-browser-webpack-plugin, add the plugin to "webpack.config.babel.js", and then restart webpack nothing happens. There is no new browser launch or new tab opened.

Here is what I added to "webpack.config.babel.js": new OpenBrowserPlugin({ url: 'http://localhost:8080' })

So, the section looks like this:

plugins: [
  new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
  new webpack.DefinePlugin({'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV)}),
  new OpenBrowserPlugin({ url: 'http://localhost:8080' })    
]

Are you having any errors in the console? Looks like the tab only opens when Webpack doesn't display any error. Working on it.

No error in the console. Just double checked. The open open tab is the google homepage. Here is the contents of webpack.config.babel.js in case it helps:

import webpack from 'webpack'
import OpenBrowserPlugin from 'open-browser-webpack-plugin'

export default {

output: {
    library: 'ReactRouter',
    libraryTarget: 'umd'
},

externals: [
    {
        react: {
            root: 'React',
            commonjs2: 'react',
            commonjs: 'react',
            amd: 'react'
        }
    }
],

module: {
    loaders: [
        {
            test: /\.js$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            loader: 'babel'
        }
    ]
},

node: {
    Buffer: false
},

plugins: [
    new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV)}),
    new OpenBrowserPlugin({
        url: 'http://localhost:8080'
    })
]

}

Try setting ignoreErrors in the configuration (requires version 0.0.2).
