Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'meta') in Vue 3 single-spa app


I am working on a micro-frontend project, using vue 3 and single-spa 5.9.3. I was trying to update one Micro-frontend npm packages to recent releases, it builds correctly but throws this error:

"TypeError: application '@myapp/my-module' died in status LOADING_SOURCE_CODE: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'meta')

webpack.config.js:

const { merge } = require("webpack-merge");
const singleSpaDefaults = require("webpack-config-single-spa");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = (webpackConfigEnv, argv) => {
  const orgName = "myapp";
  const defaultConfig = singleSpaDefaults({
    orgName,
    projectName: "root-config",
    webpackConfigEnv,
    argv,
    disableHtmlGeneration: true,
  });

  return merge(defaultConfig, {
    plugins: [
      new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
        inject: false,
        template: "src/index.ejs",
        templateParameters: {
          isLocal: webpackConfigEnv && webpackConfigEnv.isLocal,
          orgName,
        },
      }),
      new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
        filename: "css/style.css",
      }),
      new CopyWebpackPlugin({
        patterns: [
          {
            from: "./src/assets",
            to: "./assets",
          },
          {
            from: "./src/config",
            to: "./config",
          },
          {

            to: "favicon.ico",
          },
          {
            from:"staticwebapp.config.json",
            to:"staticwebapp.config.json"
          }
        ],
      }),
    ],
    module: {
      rules: [
        {
          test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
          use: [
            MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
            "css-loader",
            {
              loader: "sass-loader",
              options: {
                implementation: require("sass"),               
              },
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
    },
    externals: ["single-spa", "vue", "vue-router", "vuex", /^@myapp\/.+$/],
  });
};

it looks like there is an issue between webpack v5 and v4 versions, but there is no obvious problem to fix from that side.


Solution

  • I had the same issue migrating to webpack 5 and vue-cli-plugin-single-spa v3.3.0. In your individual application you need to set a field in the vue.config.js:

    module.exports = {
      // various other settings such as publicPath, etc
      // ...
      configureWebpack: {
        output: {
          libraryTarget: 'system',
        },
      },
    }
    

    I'm not sure if you also need this in your webpack.config.js:

      return merge(defaultConfig, {
        output: {
          libraryTarget: 'system'
        },
        // other settings
