[Pkg-javascript-devel] Help with fixing jekyll (wrt src:node-webpack)

[Utkarsh Gupta]

Hi there,

Currently, Jekyll doesn't build. Here's why:
This commit[1] introduced using webpack. However this command:

```
cd debian/node_modules/livereload-js; webpack --entry ./lib/startup.js \
        --output
../../../lib/jekyll/commands/serve/livereload_assets/livereload.js; cd
-
```

fails to run with the following error:

```
/usr/share/nodejs/webpack/node_modules/webpack-cli/bin/cli.js:281
                throw err;
                ^

Error: Cannot find module 'terser-webpack-plugin'

```

This maps to src:node-webpack. Whilst package.json (of node-webpack)
says to have a dependency on terser-webpack-plugin, however, it isn't
packaged and nor embedded. In fact, there's no mention of
terser-webpack-plugin at all.
This creates a problem with Jekyll (as shown above). I am not sure
what's the best way forward now? Is to embed terser-webpack-plugin
(with it's other dependencies packaged or embedded)? Or to embed
livereload-js into jekyll? Or what?

In any case, this is a bug with src:node-webpack which would be good
to have fixed.


Best,
Utkarsh
