webpack: Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' (import sass with a relative font folder in webpack)

My project structure is: enter image description here

/src/styles/main.scss

@import 'materialize/sass/materialize.scss';

....

I also try @import './materialize/sass/materialize.scss'; here notwork.

It only work when I import the lib in index.js

/src/index.js (this worked)

import './styles/reset.css';
import './styles/main.scss';
import './styles/font-awesome/font-awesome.scss';

webpack loader:

loaders: [
  {
    test: /\.js?/,
    exclude: [/node_modules/, /styles/],
    loaders: ['babel'],
    include: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
  },
  {
    test: /\.scss$/,
    loader: 'style!css!sass'
  },
  {
    test: /\.css$/,
    loader: "style-loader!css-loader"
  },
  {
    test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
    loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff'
  },
  {
    test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
    loader: 'file-loader'
  }

]

But got error:

I found there are config in /src/styles/materialize/sass/components/_variables.scss:

$roboto-font-path: "../fonts/roboto/" !default;

It looks like webpack search for a wrong directory, not search fonts folder under materialize.

I got error every time when I put import sass lib in main.scss, which force me to put import to index.js. Webpack should take the responsibility to generate correct absolute path base on imported relative path.

Just had this problem too. It’s an error in finding the right directory. Use the path relative to /.

In my case, instead of using ../../../assets/(...), I changed the path to /assets/(...).

I just add resolve-url to scss, it works for me.

loaders: [
  {
    test: /\.js?/,
    exclude: [/node_modules/, /styles/],
    loaders: ['babel'],
    include: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
  },
  {
    test: /\.scss$/,
    loader: 'style!css!resolve-url!sass?sourceMap'
  },
  {
    test: /\.css$/,
    loader: "style-loader!css-loader"
  },
  {
    test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
    loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff'
  },
  {
    test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
    loader: 'file-loader'
  }
]

@rodrigobacelli I don’t want to edit source file, this https://www.npmjs.com/package/resolve-url-loader module can solve the problem.

eromoe on Jul 20, 2016 
$roboto-font-path: "~materialize-css/dist/fonts/roboto/";
@import "~materialize-css/sass/materialize";

{
               test: /\.(svg|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
               loader: 'url-loader',
               options: {
                   name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]',
                   limit: 50,
               },
           },

its worked for me

Without Modifying Webpack File, this works!!

$mdi-font-path: '~mdi/fonts/';
@import '~mdi/scss/materialdesignicons';

@ssijak if you are having this issue, make sure that you are generating source map as shown in the example config by @eromoe . See the docs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/resolve-url-loader#source-maps-required

    {
        test   : /\.scss$/,
        loaders: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'resolve-url-loader', 'sass-loader?sourceMap']
    }

@eromoe, @kilroy05 , do you have any idea how we could configure this with angular-cli?

martinreus on Nov 17, 2016

it is addressed in this issue.

CSS URL handling was changed. To replicate the behavior prior to beta.32, use a root relative URL (i.e., add a / to the beginning of each URL).

Thanks to clydin

Where is the webpack bundle configuration file for Angular Cli “version”: “1.0.0-beta.17”??
