rails generate react:install not working with Webpacker

[brentdodell]

Help us help you! Please choose one:

• My app crashes with react-rails, so I've included the stack trace and the exact steps which make it crash.
• My app doesn't crash, but I'm getting unexpected behavior. So, I've described the unexpected behavior and suggested a new behavior.
• I'm trying to use react-rails with another library, but I'm having trouble. I've described my JavaScript management setup (eg, Sprockets, Webpack...), how I'm trying to use this other library, and why it's not working.
• I have another issue to discuss.

rails generate react:install is broken, I believe by this Webpacker change. Webpacker::Configuration should now be Webpacker.config. Due to this, following the documentation in the README no longer works.

This is while using Webpacker master (new version hasn't been released yet to include these changes), which is required to fix an issue with on-demand compiling in development.

It looks like the generator isn't the only thing that was broken with this. Webpacker::Manifest is not Webpacker.manifest. It would be good to look through the Webpacker PR linked to above to figure out what all needs to be updated.

Hey @Anle90, I had the same problem today. I followed the steps in #778 and it worked!!
