I'm currently working on a react webpack babel etc site and trying to build the first time. The build is successful, but when I open up the browser I get the following error:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module "/Users/"
This module exists. Going to that actual url in my browser shows the file in question. But I cannot figure out why webpack cannot find it. I don't know if this is a babel6 issue or a webpack issue, or neither. My config file looks like this:
var webpack = require('webpack');
var cleanWebpack = require('clean-webpack-plugin');
var ignore = new webpack.IgnorePlugin(new RegExp("/(node_modules|ckeditor)/"))
module.exports = {
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
entry: './lib/client/entry',
output: {
path: __dirname + '/public/js',
filename: 'app.js',
publicPath: '
},
plugins: [
ignore,
],
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js'],
moduleDirectories: ['./node_modules']
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js?$/,
loaders: ['babel-loader?presets[]=react,presets[]=es2015,plugins[]=transform-es2015-classes,plugins[]=transform-react-jsx'],
exclude: /(node_modules)/,
}
]
}
}
and my webpack server file is as follows:
var WebpackDevServer = require('webpack-dev-server');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var config = require('../../webpack.config');
var server = new WebpackDevServer(webpack(config), {
// webpack-dev-server options
publicPath: config.output.publicPath,
stats: { colors: true },
});
server.listen(8081, 'localhost', function() {});
and here are the packages I have installed:
"devDependencies": {
"babel-cli": "^6.3.17",
"babel-core": "^6.3.26",
"babel-loader": "^6.2.0",
"babel-plugin-syntax-jsx": "^6.3.13",

"react-hot-loader": "^1.3.0",
"react-router": "^1.0.3",
"webpack": "^1.12.9",
"webpack-dev-server": "^1.14.0"
}
entry.js:
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var ReactRouter = require('react-router');
var Router = ReactRouter.Router;
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var routes = require('../routes');
// -v x.13.x
/**Router.run(routes, Router.HistoryLocation, function (Handler, state) {
React.render(<Handler/>, document.getElementById('react-app'));
});**/
var node = document.getElementById('react-app');
// -v 1.0.0
ReactDOM.render(<Router history={createBrowserHistory()} routes={routes}/> , node);
Also as a heads up, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my packages. I have tried installing specifically the node-libs-browser modules. thanks.

The problem with ignore plugin on node_modules. In webpack.config.js, you have:
var ignore = new webpack.IgnorePlugin(new RegExp("/(node_modules|ckeditor)/"))
...
plugins: [
ignore,
],
From Ignore Plugin documentation:
Don’t generate modules for requests matching the provided RegExp.
Webpack tries to require module with the name node_modules/process/browser for React module and fails with it because it is ignored.
Try to remove node_modules from Ignore Plugin or write less global condition if you really need this.
Importing nodeExternals worked for me.
import nodeExternals from 'webpack-node-externals';
this is my server.webpack.config:
import path from 'path';
import nodeExternals from 'webpack-node-externals'; // changes
const CONTEXT = path.join( __dirname, "../.." ),
INPUT_SERVER_DIR = path.join( CONTEXT, "server" ),
OUTPUT_SERVER_DIR = path.join( CONTEXT, "dist/server" );
export default [
{
name: 'server',
target: 'node',
context: INPUT_SERVER_DIR,
node: {
__dirname: false
},
entry: './server',
devtool : 'source-map',
output: {
path: OUTPUT_SERVER_DIR,
filename: "server.js"
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: "babel-loader"
}
]
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js']
},
**externals : [ nodeExternals() ]**
}
];
