Just some notes about my attempt to upgrade to webpack 4

If you enjoyed reading this, I'm intending to do more blogging like this over here: https://cdgd.tech

This is not a complaint about Webpack or v4 in any way. This is just a record of my process trying it out so I could provide feedback to the webpack team

Hmm... I don't see any docs for 4.0 on https://webpack.js.org. I guess I'll just wing it. All I need to do is npm i -D webpack@next, right?

+ webpack@4.0.0-beta.2

Just some notes and references for myself.

How to google things

Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

  1. you need WSL2, not WSL1
  2. you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
  3. you need to apt install several dependencies
  4. you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

Unofficial bash strict mode

Unofficial Bash Strict Mode

Sometimes a programming language has a "strict mode" to restrict unsafe constructs. E.g., Perl has use strict, Javascript has "use strict", and Visual Basic has Option Strict. But what about bash? Well, bash doesn't have a strict mode as such, but it does have an unofficial strict mode:

set -euo pipefail

set -e

venv.fish - Automatically activate/deactivate virtualenv in fish shell
# Based on https://gist.github.com/bastibe/c0950e463ffdfdfada7adf149ae77c6f
# Changes:
# * Instead of overriding cd, we detect directory change. This allows the script to work
# for other means of cd, such as z.
# * Update syntax to work with new versions of fish.
# * Handle virtualenvs that are not located in the root of a git directory.
