Webpack is displaying empty pages, but files are being shown in terminal


partially going insane right now. I have been trying to fix this problem for over a week, but still can not seem to fix it.

Currently I am trying to make a React application that utilizes React-Router, however I am NOT using Redux or Flux. I took the code from the react-redux-starter-kit. I had experimented around with it a bit and all was working fine, but when I started changing things heavily is when I ran into issues.

The problem is, when the pages loads NOTHING is being displayed. When I say nothing I mean no HTML, JS, or CSS. All that is being displayed is the original base HTML file that consists of a <header> and <body> tag. When starting up the terminal I can see that the files are being loaded by webpack, here is what it looks like:

webpack: bundle is now VALID.

When I load the page though, none of those items are being displayed. I thought html-webpack-plugin was suppose to inject the necessary files, but it is not doing so. I can not figure out why none of the necessary files are being loaded in to my HTML file. My webpack config is as so:

export default webpackConfig

Please help me figure out why my index.html is not being injected with ANY of the files needed. All that is being displayed is the original index.html. If you would like all of the files I am currently using you can view them here. Thank you, please help!!


Solution

  • It looks like all that's being served is the fallback and static handlers you have configured in server/main.js

    app.use(express.static(root));
    app.use(fallback('index.html', { root }));
    

    If you delete that the request hangs indefinitely. That's not the only necessary fix but that will hopefully help you get to the root of the problem.
