Move off of dryice and to webpack for builds #205
Conversation
| Looks like we will need to drop node 0.8.X for webpack which is fine by me. Its years old. |
We were pretty much the last dryice user, and it isn't worth being on such a minority build tool when we don't really want to maintain it ourselves. Additionally, this lets us stop using amdefine and the AMD format, which was an alright choice in 2011 but has increasinly shown its age. Regular Common JS modules are used now, which should pave the way for better tree shaking and unused submodule removal tooling. Note that in order to avoid ruining `git blame`, this leaves each module indented by two spaces as it was from the AMD `define` function, and wraps a block around them so that editors don't freak out too much.

You're building each test file with webpack, which includes a require of the sourcemap lib. Won't that generate test files that each bundle in the entire sourcemap lib?
If you're generating files that are meant to run on our try server, you probably want to add an alias that resolves the sourcemap library to whatever the path is in firefox.

Ok, I just looked at the test files and they require specific individual modules from the project. So you probably intended to just bundle them all together. Makes sense.

Yeah some duplication, but only in tests. The build process is just so much more sane than it used to be, that I think this is worth it.
| Personally I'd say to just re-indent everything. You can pass My main concern is building the test files. r+ if you make sure it's not actually bundling in the sourcemap library for all of them, which doesn't seem desirable |

| Thanks for the review! I'd rather not re-indent, even with |

| @fitzgen Can you publish this please? |
| I will later today, after @jlongster reviews the follow ups in #206. |
| @fitzgen You can publish it (I only had 1 or 2 nits I think) but followup with looking into TravisCI for generating builds if you want later, doesn't need to block it. |
| Its been published. |
