Compiling never completes Rails 5.2, ERB and compile: true

[raldred]

webpacker: 3.5.3
rails: 5.2
ruby: 2.5.0

This is on an out the box 5.2 rails install. Added webpacker, webpacker:react & webpacker:erb
All fine apart from ERB, it hangs during requests and just sits on [Webpacker] Compiling…

I'm facing the same issue. It hangs because erb-loader is producing an error.
Have you tried running ./bin/webpack --progress and see if there are errors?

Do you use Font Awesome?

[raldred]

Just to be clear I'm seeing this in development with webpack dev server, production is fine.

This comment might help.

Is this issue still relevant ?

Feel free to close it if not 👍

@guillaumebriday the issue was that erb errors were not bubbled up so the compile process just hung.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved upstream of 3.5.3?
It's not something I've come across recently.

Any solution to this that's not related to erb-loader? I'm experiencing the compiling.... issue but do not use erb-loader. I am using Docker on Windows.
