loadMissingEntities issue when bundling with webpack about mathjax-src HOT 6 CLOSED

would it make sense to generate a single file containing all the entities and import that statically?

There already is such a file: mathjax3/input/mathml/AllEntities.js. If you import that into your script, it will pre-load all the entities.

You are right that the file path is incorrect (there was a restructuring that wasn't reflected here). That should be fixed.

The asynchLoad() code needs to be revisited. It was needed initially during the period when we still had version 2 code hooked in as we were rewriting the various modules, but it may be eliminated in the end. In any case, I have been thinking about making it be conditionally compiled so that it does not cause web pack warnings.

Thanks, mathjax3/input/mathml/AllEntities.js looks useful in theory, although I think the imports might need to be changed to be relative (i.e. import './entities/a.js'; instead of import 'entities/a.js';)?

In any case, I have been thinking about making it be conditionally compiled so that it does not cause webpack warnings.

Anything that gets rid of the warnings sounds good to me :)

I think you are right. I thought the file had been used before, but clearly it was never properly tested. Sigh. Thanks for the catch.

A fix for the entity importing (#92) has been merged into the master and alpha branches, as well as updates to the asyncLoad() function to make it work from any directory, and to provide a disabled version for use with webpack to avoid the warning messages. For that, you need to add

        new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
            /AsyncLoad\.js/,
            function (resource) {
                resource.request = resource.request.replace(/AsyncLoad/,"AsyncLoad-disabled");
            }
        )

to the plugins array for your webpack configuration. This will replace the the asynchLoad() function with one that always returns failure (and doesn't try to load any files).

This is all good now, thanks @dpvc ⭐️
