Hi there,

shopify-packer was working fine until today I created a new repo for another store, and without realising I had installed shopify-packer globally, I installed it again. Now none of my repositories work, I'm really stuck and urgently need to get things runing again! When I run packer start on any repo, I get the following: Any help much appreciated!

`
packer start

Hi,

It would help to see your package.json, packer version and what os that your using.

looking at the stack trace it seems it's having issues finding or loading (possible permission issue) the hot-client.js file. It's a simple file that is added to all dev entrypoints in development mode (watch/start)

/* eslint-env browser */
const tmpPublicPath = __webpack_public_path__;
__webpack_public_path__ = __webpack_public_path__.replace(/\/$/, '');
// eslint-disable-next-line node/no-missing-require
const client = require('webpack-hot-middleware/client?dynamicPublicPath=true');
__webpack_public_path__ = tmpPublicPath;
window.__shopify_should_reload__ = false;

client.subscribe((event) => {
  if …

    if (event.force || window.__shopify_should_reload__) {
      window.location.reload();
    }
  }
});

Potential fixes:

removing packer globally and reinstalling
installing a different version in the project. You can have a global version and a local override. The local will always be used and can be a different version.

Packer v1 - uses webpack 4 and the latest version is v1.4.0
Packer v2 - uses webpack 5 and has a ton of optimizations.

Many thanks! I uninstalled all global and local packages and started again with a single global packer install - all working nicely again

Just noticed another thing latest version of packer is using: 5.27.1 and the output above is showing webpack 5.28.0
