Hi,

I ran into the same issue…

I think this is due to a change in html-webpack-plugin@next (tested with 4.0.0-beta.4): the hooks were renamed in https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin/pull/1032.

Maybe when the 4.0.0 version will be released, https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/critters/blob/8e9e9c0fd2e2c482bb836ba19bce03e1aed29d02/src/index.js#L116 needs to use one of these hooks: https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin#events (maybe afterEmit?)

Solution: revert to a stable version of html-webpack-plugin. Hope that helps.

Moving it after HtmlWebpackPlugin worked for me, but then got the more cryptic error: undefined

@developit it is very simple

new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    filename: 'index.html',
    template: '../index.html',
    chunksSortMode: 'none'
})

and index.html has just <head> and <body> tags in it.

What worked for me was the order of plugins in the plugins array. Putting crittersplugin after htmlwebpackplugin made it work for me

Still running into this bug.

Does this plugin require html-webpack-plugin?
