@MarshallOfSound lines 250, 277, created a new guard function to assert type let me know if that was not the move |

Currently potentially having issue w/ asset relocator patch for the failing tests :( path/to/x is not being shortened to _dirname |

Did you figure out what generates this path? This could probably be resolve(__dirname, '..') instead?

For this test, we generate the path in injectedProductionDirnameCode() within AssetRelocatorPatch.ts

Gentle bump @MarshallOfSound — I tried building forge from this commit and was going to test it against my steps from this comment: #3087 (comment) to validate the change, but was running into an issue with linking, I think. |

Webpack Merge prioritizes right -> left:
we determine the config target within the baseConfig (i.e 'web', 'electron-preload') and not the one generated from rendererConfig = this.pluginConfig.renderer.config.

edit: maybe I was wrong and shouldn't have touched this

@georgexu99 Could you link where you saw the prioritization of merging? I don't see that in the webpack docs - I'd err on the side of leaving is as it was unless we're seeing a specific benefit from it 🙂

within the first code example, a comment mentions that keys to the right take precedence.
I think these need to be moved because otherwise, the separate targets that this PR evaluates do not get translated into the final webpack config (ex. prior to this change, target: electron-preload target in the baseconfig gets overwritten by target: web in the rendererConfig, even if its a preload-only entrypoint
I'm gonna dig a bit deeper and test whether I can make a functioning webpack app with these changes

getRendererConfigcurrently returns a separate config per entryPoint: this build speed regression was introduced in 1f45e2c when eachentryPointgained the capability to set its ownnodeIntegrationThis change routes each entry point into one of 4 buckets such that only 4 configs are generated.
