With webpack2 it stops build from completing about favicons-webpack-plugin HOT 8 CLOSED

hi, i had issues with favicons-webpack-plugin locking up the build and i believe i found the root cause + solution.

I was running into an issue locally with node v4.4.5:

ModuleBuildError: Module build failed: TypeError: Buffer.alloc is not a function

This occurs in /node_modules/to-ico/index.js:15:21.

Reason: Buffer API is only available in v5.10.0+.

Fix: use a node version manager such as NVM and upgrade to v5.10.0+

I'm having the same issue with webpack 1.13.0. Removing the plugin resolves the issue as reported above.

EDIT: after posting I managed to get it working.

It didn't like the path to my icon. I had:
logo: 'src/images/icon.png',

I changed it to:
logo: './src/images/icon.png',

and that made it work. An error message would be helpful if the icon can't be found.

Hmm do you have any idea why?

No clue unfortunately, it just stops, I don't know the internals of this plugin well enough to say either 😞

Having same issue. Changing the path didnt help me.
Im using webpack2 and do net get any errors.

Some additional info. I upgraded some node modules today and I ran into the problem again. I upgraded to node 6.5 (Mac) and the problem went away.

@kevin-miles that's a nice find - and kind of sad that the npm registry is so complicated to use..

you can add in your package.json { "engines" : { "node" : ">=5.10.0" } } that will trigger warning when people install the package
