Different case for "Dependency not found"

[Sydney-o9]

From Symfony Encore - FAQ.

This dependency was not found: some-module in ./path/to/file.js
Typically, a package will "advertise" its "main" file by adding a main key to its package.json.
But sometimes, old libraries won't have this.

I seem to have a different scenario than the one above.

To reproduce this, you may simply use the pace-js library which is only a single js file pace-js/pace.js.

1 add pace-js using yarn

$ yarn add --dev pace-js

2 Add pace-js to webpack.config.js

Encore
// ...
    .addEntry('whatever', 'pace-js')

Note: I also tried to include pace-js in a js file directly. Same error.

require('pace-js/pace.js');

3 Compile assets

 $ ./node_modules/.bin/encore dev
Running webpack ...

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                          15:53:54

This dependency was not found:

* pace in ./node_modules/pace-js/pace.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save pace

It seems webpack via Encore is asking for a library pace which has nothing to do with this package at all.

Nothing to do with Symfony webpack-encore. This is a pace-js issue.

However, if anyone has a similar error, take good care of Named Modules as indicated by @fson (naming the module in the define call should be avoided)

You should avoid naming modules yourself, and only place one module in a file while developing.
