Error: Non-whitespace before first tag
See original GitHub issueSorry to raise an issue with this name again, but I believe that this is not related to the BOM issue that was closed previously. I am wondering if I am doing something silly with my webpack config that is causing this:
WARNING in ./shared/components/svg-icon/icons/twitter.svg
Module build failed: Error: Non-whitespace before first tag.
Line: 0
Column: 1
Char: m
at error (blah/node_modules/xml2js/node_modules/sax/lib/sax.js:651:10)
at strictFail (blah/node_modules/xml2js/node_modules/sax/lib/sax.js:677:7)

at AnonymousObservable.Rx.AnonymousObservable.AnonymousObservable._subscribe (blah/node_modules/svg-react-loader/node_modules/rx/dist/rx.js:5862:9)
So you’ll notice the char it comes across is an ‘m’, so I decided to see what it was seeing and logged out before this line svg-react-loader/lib/xml/parse.js:16:16 and got this:
module.exports = __webpack_public_path__ + "d9fb6acead094090c1450fa6f4b6c5b7.svg";
It seems that the loader has already done its magic by this point. So why am I getting this warning? Is it running twice? This is how my loader is configured:
{
test: /\.svg$/,
loader: 'svg-react-loader',
},
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

this may be and old thread but I came across this same error, make sure you set a defined loader for the file. Especially if you have other loaders with svg definitions
I had this same issue but am using a root import plugin, so mine ended up looking like:
(note the 2nd bang ‘!’ after ‘-svg-react-loader’)
