stylesheet_pack_tag not finding app/javascript/src/application.css in rails 5.1 with webpacker gem
I am receiving this error when I try to load a page in my new rails 5.1 app using webpacker. I would like webpacker to handle CSS as well.
Started GET "/" for ::1 at 2017-09-01 12:20:23 -0400
Processing by HomeController#welcome as HTML
Rendering home/welcome.html.erb within layouts/application

ActionView::Template::Error (Webpacker can't find application.css in /Users/myusername/Documents/testing-ground/myapp/public/packs/manifest.json. Possible causes:
1. You want to set wepbacker.yml value of compile to true for your environment
unless you are using the `webpack -w` or the webpack-dev-server.
2. Webpack has not yet re-run to reflect updates.
3. You have misconfigured Webpacker's config/webpacker.yml file.
4. Your Webpack configuration is not creating a manifest.
Your manifest contains:
{
"application.js": "/packs/application-1ba6db9cf5c0fb48c785.js",
"hello_react.js": "/packs/hello_react-812cbb4d606734bec7a9.js"
}

I am running the ./bin/webpack-dev-server alongside the rails server. I created the app using:
rails new myapp --webpack
bundle
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:react
I have a single CSS file app/javascript/src/application.css. (Writing that makes me feel something is wrong. Putting css inside of a javascript directory seems improper.)
I just have single root route defined root to: 'home#welcome'.
Here is app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Myapp</title>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
<%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'application' %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
Here is my config/webpacker.yml (I have tried also setting compile to false in development.
# Note: You must restart bin/webpack-dev-server for changes to take effect

I don't want to add too many details up-front incase they are more distracting then helpful. Please ask for anything else and I'll add to my question. Thanks!
Answer
In your application.js :
import "path to application.css"
