does not write webpack-assets.json to location specified as rootDir about webpack-isomorphic-tools

[catamphetamine]

webpack-assets.json is written by Webpack plugin therefore rootDir doesn't take effect because rootDir variable is used only in your server code.
Does this answer your question?

[bdefore]

how would i configure where that gets written to?

[catamphetamine]

you can use the configuration:
https://github.com/halt-hammerzeit/webpack-isomorphic-tools#configuration
webpack_assets_file_path

thanks. i got it to work by specifying webpack_assets_file_path: 'external/webpack-assets.json', in that configuration.

a note though: at that link it says in your comments above that it would default to writing webpack-assets.json the webpack configuration context, which i am setting to my external directory, so i would have expected this change to be unnecessary.

Well, it did create webpack-assets.json in your webpack configuration context folder, or didn't it?

[bdefore]

without the additional configuration change to webpack_assets_file_path it did not, it would write webpack-assets.json to the project root even though Webpack context was configured to external

[catamphetamine]

can you post your webpack.config.js?

here's my fork and branch i'm working from: https://github.com/bdefore/react-redux-universal-hot-example/tree/parameterized-routes-and-source-path

you should be able to test either case if you add/remove the line here https://github.com/bdefore/react-redux-universal-hot-example/blob/parameterized-routes-and-source-path/external/webpack-overrides-config.js#L8
