Timeline .play() not working with Webpack

[Josh Ablett]

Timeline .play() does not start when when it should when added to a master timeline, instead it starts playing on page load. This only happens when bundled with Webpack

Hey Josh, welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

Can you please create a minimal demo of this issue? We want to fix it as soon as possible if there is an issue but it's pretty impossible to troubleshoot blind.

[Josh Ablett]

Right I'll try sort one soon as, but if this helps it works as expected when I import the UMD tweenmax

You mean this doesn't work:

import { gsap } from "gsap/dist/gsap";

But this works?

import { gsap, TweenMax } from "gsap/dist/gsap";

What code are you using? Are you using the gsap object or TweenMax?

[Josh Ablett]

neither of those work, i got the tweenmax file from UMD tweenmax cdn and then imported that file

So you're not using GSAP 3 at all, you're using an older version? GSAP 3 loads a gsap.js/gsap.min.js file. 

 

Again, please try to recreate a minimal demo of the issue so we can see exactly what's going on.

Okay I will ASAP and why would using an older version of GSAP affect if .play() works correctly?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

[Josh Ablett]

the problem is with the timeline, I have a master Timeline then add another timeline to it and use the .play() method to play it. but it doesn't work with the Master timeline it just plays on page load. So why does using the old version affect this? sorry should of explained better.

We likely cannot help until you produce a minimal demo or at least code about what you are asking about.

[Josh Ablett]

I'm using spirit js for animation and that doesn't use GSAP 3 so i don't think there's much I can do

Again, create a minimal demo. There's likely something you could do. But without seeing the error ourselves it's clear that we cannot help.
