Unexpected character '@' You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type

Question

This is what I get when I try to run webpack: the error I get is:

"ERROR in ./v3/app/styles/main.scss Module parse failed: /Users/vovina/widget-login-react/v3/app/styles/main.scss Unexpected character '@' (1:0) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type."

it can't resolve @import, any ideas on this?

my webpack config is as follow:

    const childProcess = require('child_process')
    const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin')
    const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin')
    const trimEnd = require('lodash/trimEnd')
    const webpack = require('webpack')
    const path = require('path')

    const ENV = {
      NODE_ENV: process.env.NODE_ENV,
      API: 'https://accounts' + (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'prd' ? '' : '-' 
    + process.env.NODE_ENV),
      BUILD_VERSION: trimEnd(childProcess.execSync('git rev-list HEAD --
    count').toString(), '\n'),
      BUILD_DATE: trimEnd(childProcess.execSync('git log --format="%cd" -n 
    1').toString(), '\n'),
      BUILD_COMMIT_ID: trimEnd(childProcess.execSync('git log --format="%h" 
    -n 1').toString(), '\n')
    }
    const prodLikeEnvironment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'stg' || 
    process.env.NODE_ENV === 'prd'
    const CSS_MAPS = !prodLikeEnvironment

You are using the (scss|css) twice in your configuration file. Remove that and use the code posted blow: Before using, you must first npm install raw-loader. I think you've already installed the sass-loader.

{
  test: /\.css$/,
  include: helpers.root('src', 'app'),
  loader: 'raw-loader'
},
// // css global which not include in components
{
  test: /\.css$/,
  exclude: helpers.root('src', 'app'),
  use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
    use: 'raw-loader'
  })
},

{
  test: /\.scss$/,
  include: helpers.root('src', 'app'),
  use: ['raw-loader', 'sass-loader']
},
// // SASS global which not include in components
{
  test: /\.scss$/,
  exclude: helpers.root('src', 'app'),
  use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
    use: ['raw-loader', 'sass-loader']
  })
}

Add my root()function.

var path = require('path'); 
var _root = path.resolve(__dirname, '..'); 
function root(args) {   
    args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0);   
    return path.join.apply(path, [_root].concat(args)); 
} 
exports.root = root;

Hope this will work.
