Hi,

 

I have a problem using gsap through bower, compiled with webpack. My shim looks like this:

webpack: {
  defaults: {
    plugins: [
      new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        ...
        '$': 'jquery',
        'TweenLite': 'gsap'
        ...
      })
    ],
    externals: {
      jquery: 'window.jQuery',
      'TweenLite': 'gsap'
    }
  }
}

Everything works just fine when my project is not minified / compiled to build-version, where I end up getting this error message:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'gsClass' of undefined

It works perfect when developing, even though it's run through an entry, main.js... Very confusing. Anyone had this problem before?

That is pretty weird indeed. Never heard of anything like that before. I looked at the code too and can't figure out why in the world an error like that could possibly get thrown. [scratching head] 

 

Can you provide detailed instructions about how to reproduce the issue (including what needs to be installed, where, etc.)? I don't use bower nor webpack, so I may need some hand-holding.

 

By the way, TweenMax is considered the "main" file for the "gsap" package, not TweenLite. That probably has nothing to do with these errors though.

Hi, been busy building more and haven't had a chance to follow up on this.

I found the problem, it would be nice is someone with more webpack / node skills than me could verify.

 

It all has to do with the webpack UglifyJsPlugin, and the setting "pure_getters". When having this set to true, I get the error. There's no impact on .js size in the end, so I just removed the property.

 

But I cannot give any explanation to what lies beneath this problem.
