CommonsChunkPlugin & file-loader cause error.

When creating a common chunk from a chunk that loads assets with the file-loader I get:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

from:

/******/        modules[moduleId].call(module.exports, module, module.exports, __webpack_require__);

It’s important to note that I don’t get this inlining assets with the url-loader.

Ive tried to create a limited test case here: https://github.com/cutandpastey/webpack-problem/tree/jp-common-file-loader

Steps to test:

• clone [e-mail]:cutandpastey/webpack-problem.git
• checkout jp-common-file-loader
• npm install
• webpack
• npm start
• open http://localhost:8080

That should do the trick.

HI All

Just for information, I founf that this error it is a bit misleading, it is not a bug but the way how you build your common chunks. please refer to

https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/master/examples/multiple-commons-chunks or https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/master/examples/common-chunk-and-vendor-chunk

Thanks for the write-up @Taytay, this makes a lot of sense now but the error gives no hint as to what the issue is. Since the options for commons chunk plugin vary so widely, it would be nice if there were some sort of message that says you’re loading multiple runtimes or something.
