HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin doesn't output anything

Question

I need to minify 2 JS files and inline one of them into HTML template. I have the following directory structure:

- src
---- page.html
---- script-to-inline.js
---- script.js
- webpack.config.js

And the following webpack config:

const webpack = require('webpack');
const Dotenv = require('dotenv-webpack');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('dotenv-webpack');
const InlineScriptWebpackPlugin = require('dotenv-webpack');

module.exports = {
    context: __dirname,
    mode: 'production',
    entry: {
        script: './src/script.js',
        'script-to-inline': './src/script-to-inline.js',
    },
    output: {
        path: __dirname,
    },
    plugins: [
        new Dotenv(),
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            inlineSource: './src/script-to-inline.js',
            template: './src/page.html',
            filename: 'page.html',
        }),
        new InlineScriptWebpackPlugin({
            names: ['script-to-inline'],
        }),
    ],
};

Build output is the following:

Hash: bb94c50e294f070b4fd1
Version: webpack 4.12.0
Time: 118ms
Built at: 2018-06-20 13:58:48

It looks like HtmlWebpackPlugin doesn't even try to read the template I pass to its options.

What should I change to make plugin process the page.html file?

Answer 1

It is not working because the require statement is not referencing correctly to the plugin (which is weird too because webpack did'nt yell at you).

const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('dotenv-webpack');

It should be:

const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
