Webpack Includes Tests in Production Build

[nicwillemse]

In the current setup it looks as if the webpack configuration is including the JS specs as part of the production build.

Does it really include them? I just tried webpack --env.prod and looked at the resulting wwwroot/dist/main-client.js. Ctrl+F for "karma" and "should" both gave zero results, so it doesn't look like any test code is in there.

If you have repro steps that cause the tests to be included in production build, can you please post them?

Hi @SteveSandersonMS,

I was referring to the actual tests themselves, since the webpack configuration does not seem to be excluding specs at all ?

[MarkPieszak]

@nicwillemse Do you mean that the webpack configs need the exclude portion for .spec.ts files added in there?

[SteveSandersonMS]

@nicwillemse Unless I'm missing something, the spec files don't need to be excluded. They won't be bundled with the application code, because the application code doesn't reference the specs.

@MarkPieszak thats exactly what im saying. @SteveSandersonMS do you agree with this comment ?

[SteveSandersonMS]

No I don't - please see my previous comment for details :)

[nicwillemse]

@SteveSandersonMS - im not sure your previous comment applies, the specs will be bundled due to the webpack configuration.

[SteveSandersonMS]

Can you confirm that you're actually seeing spec code inside the built bundles in wwwroot/dist/?

I searched mine and didn't find any spec code in those bundles, nor would I expect to, since the specs are not referenced from the application code.
