I\'ve started using webpack2 (to be precise, v2.3.2) and after re-creating my config I keep running into an issue I can\'t seem to solve I get (sorry in advance

Answer 1

I'm building a React server-side renderer and found this can also occur when building a separate server config from scratch. If you're seeing this error, try the following:

1. Make sure your "entry" value is properly pathed relative to your "context" value. Mine was missing the preceeding "./" before the entry file name.
2. Make sure you have your "resolve" value included. Your imports on anything in node_modules will default to looking in your "context" folder, otherwise.

Example:

const serverConfig = {
name: 'server',
context: path.join(__dirname, 'src'),
entry: {serverEntry: ['./server-entry.js']},
output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
    filename: 'server.js',
    publicPath: 'public/',
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2'
},
module: {
    rules: [/*...*/]
},
resolveLoader: {
    modules: [
        path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules')
    ]
},
resolve: {
    modules: [
        path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules')
    ]
}
};
