the plugin "DefinePlugin" don't work sometimes

[zjruan]

Environment

[webpack-stream:3.2.0] [webpack:3.4.1] [node: 7.9.0|8.2.0] [macOS: 10.12.6 ] [windows:10]

Description

my config like this, but the DefinePlugin don't work sometimes.

work

• macbook pro, [node: 7.9.0|8.2.0]
• windows:10, [node: 8.2.0]

don't work

• macbook Air, [node: 7.9.0|8.2.0]
• windows:10, [node: 7.9.0]

It's so strange, I try to debug, But it's too time-consuming. So, I changed the version of the webpack that the plugin was dependent to 3.4.1, and it was 1.15.x before.

When I have done this, all things are all right.

Therefore, it may be the webpack-stream depends on a too old webpack version.

So I suggest upgrading the dependent webpack version

// demo: 1
var webpack = require('webpack')
var webpackStream = require('webpack-stream');
/**
 * 编译 js 
 */
gulp.task('compile:js:dev', function(){
	return gulp.src(config.src.js)
		.pipe(named(function(file){
			var relativeName = file.relative;
			return relativeName.replace(path.extname(relativeName), '');
		}))
		.pipe(webpackStream({
			externals: {'$': 'window.$'},
			devtool: 'source-map',
			plugins: [
				new webpack.DefinePlugin({
					STATIC_WEB_PATH: '"//my.test.path"'
				})
			]
		}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest(config.dist.js))
		.pipe(global.browsersync.stream());
});

// demo: 2
// The final solution of me
gulp.task('compile:js:dev', function(){
	return gulp.src(config.src.js)
		....
		.pipe(webpackStream({
			externals: {'$': 'window.$'},
			devtool: 'source-map',
			plugins: [
				new webpack.DefinePlugin({
					STATIC_WEB_PATH: '"//my.test.path"'
				})
			]
		}, webpack))
		...
});
