Webpack errors with Max's upgraded AureliaDotnetTemplate

This is not a problem with Max’s update rather, its not playing well with my older ClientApp.

As Max advised I used “npm run webpack:watch” to run in the background when working on the UI. Fine… however when I ran it I got these errors:

Its as if a loader is missing or something. Anyway here is the webpack file… maybe someone who knows webpack well might be able to identify the problem:

const path = require("path");
const webpack = require("webpack");
const { AureliaPlugin, ModuleDependenciesPlugin, GlobDependenciesPlugin } = require("aurelia-webpack-plugin");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require("clean-webpack-plugin");

const bundleOutputDir = "./wwwroot/dist";

module.exports = (env, argv) => {
	if ((!argv || !argv.mode) && process.env.ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT === "Development") {
		argv = { mode: "development" };
	}
	console.log("mode =", argv.mode);
	const isDevBuild = argv.mode !== "production";
	const cssLoaders = ["css-loader", "postcss-loader"];
	const scssLoaders = [...cssLoaders, "sass-loader"];

	return [{

The template is configured for sass. You need to enable css loader for all sources, not just node_modules folder

Thanks for replying… when you say all sources do I just rename the css to sass etc?

There’s a couple of css rules, remove node_modules filter from those

Sorry for my confusion here … I think you are referring to these… do I remove them or do I change my project in some way…

			{ test: /\.css$/i, include: [/node_modules/], issuer: /\.html$/i, use: cssLoaders },
