What is the current behavior?

$ webpack-cli init

Insecure about some of the questions?

https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/INIT.md

? Will you be creating multiple bundles? No
? Which module will be the first to enter the application? index.js
? Which folder will your generated bundles be in? [default: dist]:
? Are you going to use this in production? No
? Will you be using ES2015? Yes
? Will you use one of the below CSS solutions? No
? If you want to bundle your CSS files, what will you name the bundle? (press enter to skip)
? Name your 'webpack.[name].js?' [default: 'config']:
...
├─┬ babel-core@6.24.1
│ ├─┬ babel-code-frame@6.22.0
│ │ ├─┬ chalk@1.1.3
...
└── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY webpack@2

Then:

$ webpack-cli
module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack'

If install webpack (npm i -S webpack), next error is:

$ webpack-cli
module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

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

If install that, we get (after fixing "./dist" is not an absolute path which is I see is fixed now):

$ webpack-cli
Hash: 5492c18c1852ed5bd45b
Version: webpack 2.5.1

         Asset     Size  Chunks             Chunk Names

ERROR in ./index.js
Module build failed: Error: Couldn't find preset "es2015" relative to directory

What is the expected behavior?

webpack-cli init to install all needed deps

Version

$ webpack-cli --version
1.3.1

Hi! The dist output is fixed in #125 . It should install your dependencies, what's your repository structure, and where do you run the command from?

[nilliams]

Hmm, it does seem odd no-one else has hit this!

Thought it might be an env thing, so now tried in 2 envs, (empty dir each time):

• 2 x in MacOS
• 2 x in Ubuntu (via Vagrant)

... and get the same.

Dir structure is a new, empty dir. I am running command from a global install (npm i -g webpack-cli).

MacOS:

$ which webpack-cli
/Users/nick/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.5/bin/webpack-cli

Ubuntu:

$ which webpack-cli
/home/vagrant/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.1/bin/webpack-cli

Here's a more complete dump from the Vagrant attempt, which shows the 3 modules I named not being included in the install.

Edit: See PR below which fixes 2 of the 3 missing packages.

As for babel-preset-2015, it looks like you're installing babel-preset-env, (perhaps intended to migrate to that?) but then the config generated tries to use presets: ['es2015'] instead?

Hi! Thanks for the PR, saw the typo! Closing #136
