doesn't seem to compress HTML from html-webpack-plugin

worth checking if changing minThreshold to a lower value will solve this, and ensure test includes html, e.g.,:

    test: /\.js$|\.html$/,
    minRatio: 0,

hmm actually I am getting this problem too now - intermittently.

[graingert]

is this a plugin ordering issue? Is there a race between the HTML plugin and the compression plugin?

Ran into a similar problem here: markdalgleish/static-site-generator-webpack-plugin#44. There's also a related discussion going on here: jantimon/html-webpack-plugin#142.

This issue could be solved on the level of the compression-webpack-plugin - who is maintaining this plugin right now?

[TomDeBacker]

If it helps, I had the same issue and created a plugin that does this.

Edit: Seems like this is now going to be implemented in compression-webpack-plugin. Deleted previously mentioned repository.

@jantimon Can you explain how compression-webpack-plugin could solve the issue ?

[ijpiantanida]

@michael-ciniawsky if I understand correctly, this would also be solved by #45. It's the same problem.

[jantimon]

@michael-ciniawsky there is an event fired by the html-webpack-plugin which could be used

@jantimon Mind to give 'this event' a name 😛 , in case #45 isn't resolving the problem?
