Loading JSON files with bundle-loader crashes about bundle-loader

[rmja]

I think this is related to webpack/webpack#6572, as applying webpack/webpack#6572 (comment) fixes the issue.

If anyone else is encountering the same bug, my current workaround is to go back to using to json-loader:

module: {
  rules: [{
    test: /\.json$/i,
    type: 'javascript/auto',
    loader: 'json-loader',
  }],
},

Sadly I haven't found a way to do that for bundle-loader-loaded JSON files only (resourceQuery can be used but you'd need to flag every use of bundle-loader in your codebase)

Adding the following code snippet just before return result.join(""); resolves the issue but it is not nice. I don't know how to property get the generator and parser instance:

if (this._module.type !== "javascript/auto") {
		this._module.type = "javascript/auto";
		for (var i = 0, ii = this._compilation.modules.length; i < ii; i++) {
			if (this._compilation.modules[i].type === "javascript/auto") {
				this._module.generator = this._compilation.modules[i].generator;
				this._module.parser = this._compilation.modules[i].parser;
				break;
			}
		}
	}

Is there a better api to get the instance other then searching in the other modules?
