Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'call') when upgrade to webpack 3

Question

I am developing a google chrome extension, today I tried to upgrade the webpack to verison 3(the legacy was webpack 1.x). Now I am almost complete and the compile works fine, but when I open the google chrome extension popup page, it could not show the UI element. Then I open the popup debbbugger console and shows error log:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'call')
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap 9e5832947e0eb0ffd7bf:54:1)

I check the bootstrap "bootstrap-sass": "^3.4.1", version and it was the newest version which last update was 3 years ago. why would this happen? what should I do to fix this problem? this is my project package.json :

    "webpack": "^3.12.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^4.9.1"
  },
  "license": "GPLv3",
}

and this is my webpack config:

const path = require('path');
const webpack = require( 'webpack' ) ,
  CommonsChunkPlugin = webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin ,
  ExtractTextPlugin = require( 'extract-text-webpack-plugin' );

module.exports = {
  entry : {
    bg : './src/background-scripts/' ,
    content : ['./src/content-scripts/firefox-fix.js', './src/content-scripts/'] ,
    options : './src/options/' ,
    popup : './src/popup/' ,
    'bs-lite' : './src/public/bootstrap-lite.scss'
  } ,
  output : {
    path : path.resolve(__dirname, '../src/bundle') ,
    filename : '[name].js'
  } ,
  module : {
    rules : [
      {
        test : /\.js$/ ,
        exclude : [ /node_modules(?!(\/|\\?\\)(translation\.js|selection-widget|connect\.io|chrome-env)\1)/ ] ,
        loader : 'babel-loader'
      } ,
      {
        test : /\.woff$/ ,
        loader : 'file-loader' ,
        query : {
          name : '[name].[ext]'
        }
      } ,
      {
        test : /\.html$/ ,
        loader : 'vue-html-loader'
      } , 
      {
        test : /\.(css|scss)$/ ,
        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
          fallback :'style-loader',
          use: [
            'css-loader',
            {
              loader: 'sass-loader',
              options: {
                implementation: require('sass')
              }
            }]
        })
      }
    ]
  } ,
  plugins : [
    new CommonsChunkPlugin( {
      name : 'commons1',
      filename : 'commons1.js' , 
      allChunks: true,
      chunks : [ 'content' , 'popup' ] 
    }) ,
    new CommonsChunkPlugin({ 
      name: 'commons2',
      filename :'commons2.js' , 
      allChunks: true,
      chunks : [ 'commons1.js' , 'options' ] 
    }) ,
    new CommonsChunkPlugin({ 
      name: 'commons3',
      filename :'commons3.js' , 
      allChunks: true,
      chunks : [ 'bg' , 'commons2.js' ] 
    }) ,
    new ExtractTextPlugin( '[name].css' )
  ]
};

I have no idea about how to fix this problem, anyone facing the same problem? I have tried to add allChunks: true in the CommonsChunkPlugin but did not works. I also tried to move the popup chunk in front of others to control the order like this:

new CommonsChunkPlugin( {
      name : 'commons1',
      filename : 'commons1.js' , 
      allChunks: true,
      chunks : [ 'popup','content' ],
      chunksSortMode: 'manual',
    }) ,

still did not work. Any one facing the same problem?

Answer 1

The problem is quite simple. Probably you are using multiple apps builded via weback on same page. Solution: Change output.jsonpFunction
