Generated path in HTML not getting updated

[petegore]

Hi everyone,
I installed your incredible package today, but I'm facing an issue.

I modified the base package.config.json in order to change the output dir and replace "webpack_bundles" by builds :

// /webpack.config.js
// ... imports are there
module.exports = {
 context: __dirname,
 entry: './static/app',
 output: {
   // I mainly changed this line
   path: path.resolve('./static/builds/'),
   filename: "[name]-[hash].js"
 },
 plugins: [
   new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'})
 ],
}

It seems this change is correctly applied when building my output assets, the path seems correct.
/webpack-stats.json

{
  "status": "done",
  "assets": {
    "main-b0a9e492033007ae27eb.js": {
      "name": "main-b0a9e492033007ae27eb.js",
      "path": "/app/static/builds/main-b0a9e492033007ae27eb.js"
    }
  },
  "chunks": {
    "main": [
      "main-b0a9e492033007ae27eb.js"
    ]
  }
}

My settings in Django are the default one provided by your tutoriel. In my case DEBUG=1 so CACHE=0 :

WEBPACK_LOADER = {
  'DEFAULT': {
    'CACHE': not DEBUG,
    'STATS_FILE': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'webpack-stats.json'),
    'POLL_INTERVAL': 0.1,
    'IGNORE': [r'.+\.hot-update.js', r'.+\.map'],
  }
}

And in my HTML template I import the following inside my tag :

{% load render_bundle from webpack_loader %}
{% render_bundle 'main' %}

Then I build by asset by running the following command :

npx webpack --mode=development --config webpack.config.js

Bug when I run the page, I still have an old path for the script tag, resulting in a 404 error :

<script src="/static/webpack_bundles/main-b0a9e492033007ae27eb.js" ></script>

Am I missing something ? Shouldn't it be using the new path with the builds dir ?

I tried to restart the Django server, I also cleared the __pycache__ folders of all my apps. Nothing changes.

Is it a bug or a misunderstanding from me ?

Thanks a lot

Also got bit by this, then found that it can be specified in the config:

django-webpack-loader/webpack_loader/config.py

Line 11 in 0c0ff26

'BUNDLE_DIR_NAME': 'webpack_bundles/',

When changing the output.path, the BUNDLE_DIR_NAME must also be updated. The bundles parent directory must also be in STATICFILES_DIRS if you're serving assets using Django's staticfiles app (which is the default in Django's runserver). Unfortunately this isn't mentioned in the README. We'll fix that. Closing as duplicate of #178
