Upcoming release - 3.x about parallel-webpack

[gs-akhan]

Sure, Looking for contributions ? I can assist.
We have use case where we have to to build 70+ builds in parallel.

Thanks

@MrStarktastic ultimately we will move to webpack 4 at some point so yes this is going to work with webpack 4 as well.

Currently you can actually use it with webpack 4 if you set mode through config. Not sure if CLI works yet.

Excited to hear this. Waited long time for this. Which branch has the code ?

[efegurkan]

@gs-akhan i updated issue. Keep in mind it may change a lot.

[MrStarktastic]

Any plans to support webpack 4 in this release? I found out that there's no way to set the mode option.

Tried 3.0.0-alpha.2, getting error due to trailing commas on bin files(run.js)

[mike1808]

@gbhasha you are using old Node version.

[efegurkan]

@gbhasha Thanks, I will release a new version with a fix this week hopefully If I find time, with some other changes.

@mike1808 in theory we should support node 6.x so it is a legit problem

Thanks again both :)

@efegurkan I see that you are dropping support for webpack watch. Is there another process you guys are using instead like webpack-dev-server/middleware?

Hi @justinhp , we've setup our build to only build one of our targets in development mode and are using parallel-webpack and the multi-variant build only when building for production. For the normal development workflow, we're simply using webpack directly (watch mode or dev-server).

[justinhp]

@pago Thanks for the info! Yeah, we use the parallel-webpack watch mode bc we pull out our header and footer of our main site into their own header-footer app which we slap on some legacy pages/sites as we move through our redesign. So it's nice if we're doing header/footer work to only load up the header-footer app locally and also to make sure that everything still functions and then switch back to the main site app to make sure that it's working as well.

Is there any activity on this? Is there anything that I can help with testing in order to get this out of alpha?

[efegurkan]

@monkpit currently we are updating our webpack to v4 this will probably be finished after that.

Wondering whether there is a chance to support multiple process.env settings for each parallel build e.g. it would be useful to be able to build client and server in parallel for a universal/SSR app. To be able to selected e.g. different BROWSERSLIST_ENV settings for each instance would be very helpful.

@efegurkan Any updates on this?

[prograhammer]

@efegurkan Wondering about webpack 4 as well. Any updates?

[efegurkan]

I don't work on this project anymore since a while. Sorry if I caused any trouble. On the other hand trivago people known for being friendly and open for the PR's etc. If someone wants to take over maybe it would be great :)
