The resolved config file doesn't contain a resolve configuration

[angelosembrano]

I haven't configured anything yet, so it is the first instance of my npm run start after npm run setup.

This shows:

Error: D:/Projects/DIR/scalable-react-boilerplate/webpack.config.babel.js: The resolved config file doesn't contain a resolve configuration

Why is that? I am developing on a Windows 10 environment.

guess i have same error:

WebpackOptionsValidationError: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration has an unknown property 'postcss'. These properties are valid:
   For typos: please correct them.
   For loader options: webpack 2 no longer allows custom properties in configuration.
 - configuration.module has an unknown property 'preLoaders'. 

Ubuntu 16.04 \ node v6.9.1 \ npm v3.10.8

Hey! Thanks for reporting this. I just updated the package.json to indicate that the webpack version needs to be exactly as listed. If you remove your node_modules and reinstall them after pulling the latest version, this should be working. Sorry for that!

The webpack version needs to read:

    "webpack": "2.1.0-beta.19"

in the package.json

Still getting this @RyanCCollins.

Update @RyanCCollins:

Went past by the error above by running npm run setup through an Administrator command prompt.

But still when running npm run start, it shows the same error about resolve configuration.

Skimming through the list of npm packages, I noticed this is the only one having issues: +-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY webpack@2.1.0-beta.19

Why is that?

[RyanCCollins]

It looks like you do not have the proper version of webpack installed.

I would recommend starting from scratch with the installation. Also, we've found that one of the biggest sources of bugs comes from when users are not on the same version of Node and NPM.

The versions listed in the package.json are

  "engines": {
    "node": "5.2.0",
    "npm": "3.10.7"
  },

I usually use NVM to install specific versions of Node. You can see a Gist here. When you install node 5.2.0, it should also install the right version of npm.

So to summarize, what I recommend doing is installing Node version 5.2.0 with NVM and then start with a fresh install of the boilerplate git clone https://github.com/RyanCCollins/scalable-react-boilerplate then npm run setup. Also, if you have Yarn installed, you can skip npm run setup and just do yarn.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

I am going to close this. Please message me if you still need help @angelosembrano
