webpack: Duplicated minified files

Hi guys,

This might be related to chrome rather than webpack, but I’m not really sure about that.

I have a problem related to js files getting partially duplicated by the browser.

The following part of the minified js can visually seen duplicated:

  • Checks if an event is supported in the current execution environment. *
    • NOTE: This will not work correctly for non-generic events such as change,

This happens when chrome is loading the js but I quickly navigate to another link in the website. When I come back, and the files start to load again, then the file gets this duplication problem, this causes a js error that can be seen on console.

commonChunk.54cef61….bundle.js:41 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token !

The worst problem is that I’m caching files, so the user doesn’t get rid of the error until he clears the cache.

If I wait for the file to load, then the file gets received perfectly by the user.

This seems only to be affecting commonChunk.

Hi @evilebottnawi ,

Just came back from vacations, give me a couple of days more please.

@evilebottnawi But the header appears after the file is duplicated. Give me a couple of days to dig into the header problem.
