Reproduce:

  • Init new project preact create test && cd $_
  • npm start

P/s:

This only happens with npm@5.2.0. For some reason, node can’t resolve it

❯ npm ls extract-text-webpack-plugin
mui@1.0.0 /home/khoa/web/mui
└─┬ preact-cli@1.3.0
  └─┬ @webpack-blocks/extract-text2@0.4.0
    └── extract-text-webpack-plugin@2.1.2 

My rule of thumb is if you use it, you must install it first. Thoughts @developit @lukeed ?

Got this error using the latest NPM, was able to “fix” by simply using yarn instead.

For anyone stuck: yarn global add preact-cli

Then yarn and yarn start in the created project.

@anantoghosh webpack3 will be available in the next version (which might take sometime) because there are a bunch of things which we are planning for the next release
