I'm new to webpack and I'm trying to set everything up to work on a react project. I have managed to get everything working in webpack as expected but have hit a road block with autoprefixer.
I have followed the docs for both post css and autoprefixer and I'm obviously missing something important here or have done something daft. can you please take a look at my config and let me know if you have any suggestions.
Other postcss plugins are working fine like nanocss. althought I have tried cssnext as I think that includes autoprefixer anyway.
I'm assuming it's a autoprefixer config issue.
Another thing is in the command line if you type npx autoprefixer info. everything looks fine. No errors when I build or run dev server it just doesn't autoprefix anything.
Here are all my config files. Thanks in advance.

const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

// Constant with our paths
const paths = {

I have now also tried Laurent's advice. I'm not sure if this is progress or not but I am now getting some error logging. My config now looks like this with no postcss.config
const path = require("path");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");

webpack: Failed to compile.
css.walkAtRules is not a function seems to be the source of my woes but. Everything seems to be fine from a config point of view. It should be finding it.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!
I had the same problem and I fix it properly, but in my config, I used
PostCSS
withSCSS
style. Clone and see PostCSS configuration on Webpack, it is so simple and works properly. I do not write myWebpack
configs here because it is hard to read and use. Undoubtedly I didn't use separatePostCSS
config file. simply you can writePostCSS
configs insideWebpack
configuration file. I preferred to separate Development and Production version ofWebpack
. See and if there is question please ask. I will be glad to answer.I struggled on the same kind of problem and found a solution. I also went through the process of applying autoprefixer which didn't work and didn't display any error message either.
I don't know if my solution will solve your problem, but let's give it a try. I tried to transpile scss code, which basically is the same process as transpiling less code.
I defined neither a postcss.config.js nor a .browserlistrc file. Instead, in the webpack.config.js, I first
Then, I set the following configuration in the webpack.config.js (this here would be the equivalent for less):
As far as I understand from the huge amount of forums I looked for that piece of information, it is crucial that the loader order be 'css-loader', 'postcss-loader', and then 'less-loader'. In my particular case, it didn't work at all without the option
Hope this helps...
