[question] mutiple entry points

let’s say we have

var gulp = require('gulp');
var webpack = require('webpack-stream');
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/entry.js')
    .pipe(webpack({
      entry: {
        app: 'src/app.js',
        test: 'test/test.js',
      },
      output: {
        filename: '[name].js',
      },
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

It appears that entries will be ‘src/app.js’, ‘test/test.js’. However, I actually want ‘src/entry.js’ to be one of the entries. Why can’t we concat the ‘src/entry’ with webpack config entry? It will be useful when we define vendor code like vendor: ["jquery", "underscore", ...]

I have the exact same question. Does entry.js need to exist?

@shama, I think @ianwith’s question was with regards to the sample in the readme.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var webpack = require('webpack-stream');
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/entry.js')
    .pipe(webpack({
      entry: {
        app: 'src/app.js',
        test: 'test/test.js',
      },
      output: {
        filename: '[name].js',
      },
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

What is the significance of gulp.src('src/entry.js') while the entry property is set in the config?

Could src/entry.js be anything? Does the file have to exist on the filesystem?
