Details

After starting the dev server, it crashes as soon as the browser requests one of its compiled assets.

The crash produces the following error (path truncated for brevity):

Reproduce link

https://github.com/mxmason/rspack-repro-dev-crash

Reproduce Steps

1. run pnpm i
2. run pnpm run dev:rspack
3. verify that the server has not crashed yet
4. navigate to http://localhost:8080
5. verify that the index.html file is returned, but there's no "hello world" from the main bundle
6. verify that the dev server has crashed
7. run pnpm run dev:webpack and verify that "hello world" does render

Note

DevServer crashes as soon as the browser requests main.js. If you comment out the plugins array in config.mjs, the server will only crash if you go to http://localhost:8080/main.js.

Closed as fixed by upstream: webpack/webpack-dev-middleware#1927

Thanks, @h-a-n-a. It looks like webpack-dev-middleware@7.4.2 has this fix, but the latest release of rspack doesn't use 7.4.2. Can you say when rspack will upgrade its dependencies?
