Webpack doesn't load HTML

I get 404 not found error when loading the HTML page with webpack. These are my configurations.

Webpack.config.js:

const path = require('path');

module.exports= {
    devServer: {
        // contentBase
        static : {
          directory : path.join(__dirname, 'public/')
        },
        port: 3000,
        // publicPath
        devMiddleware:{
           publicPath: 'https://localhost:3000/dist/',
        },
        // hotOnly
        hot: 'only',
      },
};

The other file configurations are on the screenshot. The webpack server runs correctly, but when I try to load the page I get this error. Please tell me where I am wrong.

CodePudding user response:

Do you have your index.html in the right place in your /public folder?

From the webpack docs:

To load your bundled files, you will need to create an index.html file in the build folder from which static files are served (--content-base option).

Or try put this in webpack.config.js:

 devServer: {
  historyApiFallback: true,
}

Or sometimes you could need to point out your historyApiFallback index.html file like this:

 devServer: {
        historyApiFallback:{
            index:'build/index.html'
        },
