[BenGedi]

Hey,

I'm using your boilerplate and npm run build having some errors, can you please tell me what i'm missing?

I went ahead and tested on my mac and it works fine. It must be something related to Windows, maybe it's the pathing? i.e. using \ instead of / for the paths.

Maybe someone with windows can help

Might be related to this https://github.com/isaacs/rimraf/issues/62

I've the same problem on Windows and isaacs/rimraf#62 doesn't work. Now I remove rimraf dist and i create the directory dist and npm run build is ok. But when I open the ./dist/index.html there's a blank page. The js and css file are correctly included...

thanks

updating build script in package.json from

"build": "rimraf dist && node_modules/.bin/webpack --config ./webpack.production.config.js --progress --profile --colors"

to

"build": "rimraf dist && webpack --config ./webpack.production.config.js --progress --profile --colors"

solves the issue

Thanks.

Thanks @Tushkiz

It looks like using the global webpack solves the issue

Closing this

[Tushkiz]

@jpsierens you are welcome! Global webpack is not required either, when called from npm scripts it is resolved local first.

[jpsierens]

True!

@maximilianb8 it's a bit late, but in case anyone else stumples across that, here is an answer:

It's probably because you're not running it in a server and therefore browserHistory doesn't work. Change browserHistory to hashHistory in your index.js and it should work just fine. Read more here https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/master/docs/guides/Histories.md
