Setup Error

[KrGyan]

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.

• configuration.output.path: The provided value "dist" is not an absolute path!

Steps: 1) cloned the repo. 2) npm install (to install all dependencies) 3) npm start - (Error got on this step)

Hi,

solution for this error actually is:

const ngtools = require('@ngtools/webpack');
const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    entry: {
        main: './src/main.server.ts'
    },
    resolve: {
      extensions: ['.ts', '.js']
    },
    target: 'node',
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
        filename: '[name].js'
    },
    plugins: [
        new ngtools.AotPlugin({
            tsConfigPath: './tsconfig.json'
        })
    ],
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
              test: /\.ts$/,
              loader: '@ngtools/webpack'
            }
        ]
    }
}

But unfortunately, after i fixed this, another errors occured:
