webpack.base.babel.js bug when running npm run build

See original GitHub issue

Came across a very strange bug when running

npm run build

Basically, in the file ./internals/webpack/webpack.base.babel.js if you set the property stats to true you will see the following:

  devtool: options.devtool,
  target: 'web', // Make web variables accessible to webpack, e.g. window
  stats: true,  // Don't show stats in the console <--- this is the line 
  progress: true,

Results in

> reactjs-boilerplate@2.4.0 build /Users/xxxx/reactjs-boilerplate
> cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --config internals/webpack/webpack.prod.babel.js --colors -p

/Users/xxxx/reactjs-boilerplate/node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js:63
    var outputOptions = Object.create(options.stats || firstOptions.stats || {});
                               ^

    at startup (node.js:136:18)
    at node.js:972:3

I’m having trouble finding what this option does. Any clues?

Hi, @learntoswim Seems like options.stats must be an object. Try something like this:

stats: {
  // Config for minimal console.log mess.
  assets: false,
  colors: true,
  version: false,
  hash: false,
  timings: false,
  chunks: false,
  chunkModules: false
}

You can find more info here
