Build webpack using this plugin

[testinggithub1222]

I am trying to use this plugin to work with npm as well as webpack in other to build reactjs web application but I am not sure how can i build webpack using this plugin. What I can find is build npm only.

I have found some same question on stackoverflow but i could not find any solution. Please help me find out.

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.0.M1'
    id 'java'
    id "com.moowork.node" version "1.3.1"
}

apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

group = 'com.test'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/snapshot' }
    maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

node {
  version = '10.15.3'
  npmVersion = '3.10.6'
  download = true
  workDir = file("${project.buildDir}/node")
  nodeModulesDir = file("${project.projectDir}")
}

//  Runs "npm run build" to build the app.
task nodeBuild(type: NpmTask) {
    args = ['run', 'build', 'webpack', 'build']
}

jar {
    from ("dist/")
    includeEmptyDirs = true
}

//  Deletes the "dist" folder containing the result of the build process.
clean {
    delete 'dist/'
}

build.dependsOn(npm_install)

In case of args = ['run', 'build'] you need to have corresponding build in scripts section of package.json. No need to put anything except this in gradle configuration

@vitalyster Please elaborate in detail i am not sure what do you mean by this.

Here is a part of your gradle configuration:

//  Runs "npm run build" to build the app.
task nodeBuild(type: NpmTask) {
    args = ['run', 'build', 'webpack', 'build']
}

just remove unnecessary args and make it looks like that:

    args = ['run', 'build']

then check your package.json for the scripts section, it should have the following:

"scripts": {
  "build": "webpack build"
}

So gradle node plugin will run npm build task and it will call webpack build script
