I am getting this error when I npm start my webpack-dev-server:
ERROR in multi main
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' /var/www/html/151208-DressingAphrodite/app in /var/www/html/151208-DressingAphrodite
@ multi main
Here is my webpack.config.js:
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require ('html-webpack-plugin');
const PATHS = {
app: path.join (__dirname, 'app'),
build : path.join (__dirname, 'build')
};
module.exports = {
entry : [
'babel-polyfill',
'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080',
PATHS.app
],
output : {
publicPath : '/',
filename : 'dressingaphrodite.js',
hash : true
},
debug : true,
devServer : {
contentBase : './app'
},
devtool : 'source-map',
module : {
loaders : [
{
test : /\.jsx?$/,
include : PATHS.app,
loader : 'babel-loader',
query : {
presets : ["es2015"]
}
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
include: PATHS.app,
loader: 'style!css'
}
]
},
plugins : [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin ({
title : 'Dressing Aphrodite',
filename : 'da.html'
})
]
};
ok if any one face this problem, you can solve it in 2 methods:
Method 1:
1- add a file called package.json inside your entry folder (in your case put it inside the folder "{project_dir}/app/package.json"
)
2- inside this file write any json object for example:
{
"name": "webpack why you do diss :("
}
Method 2:
Change your entry files to be at least 2 level away from your project home directory, for example: "{project_dir}/src/app"
Explanation: for each entry file webpack will try to find a file called package.json to use it for webpack configuration incase this entry file is a module, when you put your entry file only 1 level away from your project home dir webpack will use your project packge.json as configuration file for your entry file and it will fail because of miss configuration.
