Error: Cannot resolve module 'babel'

[karlpatrickespiritu]

I'm not really familiar with webpack configs. Anyone also having this issue? I tried changing the loaders property in the webpack.config.dev.js to loaders: ['babel-loader'] but also giving me the cannot resolve module error with babel-loader. I also tried adding resolveLoader but no luck.

$ npm run build:dev

> universal-react-boilerplate@3.0.0 build:dev C:\Users\Private\Development\web\food-shop
> npm run clean && npm run build:webpack:dev

> universal-react-boilerplate@3.0.0 clean C:\Users\Private\Development\web\food-shop
> rimraf build

> universal-react-boilerplate@3.0.0 build:webpack:dev C:\Users\Private\Development\web\food-shop
> webpack --config webpack.config.dev.js

My bad. The problem was I forgot that my node_modules wasn't properly installed due to this windows issue of fsevents. Downgraded my npm to v3.10.7, added this line to the package.json file:

"optionalDependencies": {
    "fsevents": "*"
},

Reinstalled and it worked.
