Error: ENOENT, stat dist/index.html

[Guria]

Sometimes console logs out Error: ENOENT, stat '/home/ubuntu/workspace/dist/index.html'

Same issue here.

Love the Boilerplate. Thanx

You should propably run "webpack" once in project directory to create dist/index.html

[jenil]

Has anyone figured this out?

Hello? Anybody?

[leomelin]

1. in project directory run "webpack" to generate /dist/ directory with files
2. change output filename in webpack config file to "bundle.js" instead of "[name].js", like this:

output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, '/dist/'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    publicPath: '/'
  }

1. npm start and it should work

[jenil]

:+1: yes, just run a webpack to create the files in the dist/ and then you should be good to go.

[leomelin]

@jgog I noticed that at least for me, I had to change the webpack config filename too for hot loading to work - just running webpack made the ENOENT error message to disappear but made further changes to files not to hotload. Did you notice anything similar?

[jenil]

I left the config as it is, ran webpack and then ran npm run start but with that the reloading did not work. So I went into the dist/ and deleted the main.js and the reloading also started to work.

Hi guys,

What is the status here now? Should we change something in the boilerplate to avoid this confusion? I have not met the issue myself.

[jenil]

I don't think any change is required in the boilerplate.

[christianalfoni]

cool :-)
