Until now, to build to production, I used the :jsBrowserProductionWebpack task then got the files in build/dist/js/productionExecutable/ .

However, since 2.0.0, this is not generated anymore. Instead, I found build/kotlin-webpack/js/productionExecutable, but that doesn't contain the index.html file.

What changed? Where are the files generated now?

Gradle setup:

kotlin {
	js(IR) {
		browser()

		binaries.executable()
	}

	val jsMain by sourceSets.getting {
		dependencies {
			implementation(projects.lazyLayouts)
		}
	}
}

There is no webpack.config.d folder or any other webpack-related config.

Thanks. That's… terse, though. Does this mean I should use the distribution task?

[jw]

Yep. And it will put things into a new directory. I forget which as I'm not at a computer, but it will be obvious

Ok, the task it actually called jsBrowserDistribution , correct?

[CLOVIS]

And it generates everything into build/dist/js/productionExecutable/ , perfect, thanks

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-project-setup.html#webpack-bundling should be updated, then. Should I create a YouTrack issue for it, or is there a better place?

I guess YT is always a viable option. But you could just do a PR on https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-web-site (also available directly from the docs via edit page).
