Errors in `webpack` break the pipe / task

Hello,

I am using webpack and gulp to build a coffee-script app using webpack watch option.

Any coffee-loader error, such as a syntax error, will just crash webpack along with gulp.

Using plumber or anything to catch the error will prevent gulp from crashing but won’t keep webpack alive.

How can we fix that?

@ArnaudRinquin - Ran into this same issue. It’s a gulp issue I think. There’s a good explanation in https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/259. The following worked for me:

  return gulp.src('webclient/index.js')
    .pipe(gulpWebpack(webpackConfig, webpack))
    .on('error', function handleError() {
      this.emit('end'); // Recover from errors
    })
    .pipe(gulp.dest('webclient-dist/static'));

I’m not sure. I don’t use plumber or the watch option with webpack.
