I am getting this error when I am not even using webpack in this particular branch. I have never encountered this error in my main branch before. However, I wanted to learn webpack so I created a webpack branch of my project and install webpack in that branch(Assuming that I did correctly install webpack locally). Now when I switch back to my main, and tried to run "npm start
". I am getting into this error.
> react-scripts start
module.js:550
throw err;

Many SO posts suggesting downloading webpack, but I do not wish to use webpack for this branch, so many SO posts are not helpful.
What I have tried:
I checked my package.json file
, there is no webpack dependency in my main branch. However, I do see webpack in my package.lock.json
file when I search for the word webpack
What I am using:
I am using create-react-app
library.
What I need help with: I am trying to figure out the cause of this error and how to fix it. Does it have to do with me installing webpack in the other branch?
Ok, this is weird but this is how I fixed it.
I think this error has to do with "react-script"
I was using react-script@1.3
, as soon as I upgrade my react script to 2.1.3
, which is the latest version published 4 days ago, this error is fixed.
