I am learning webpack to start out my react projects without create-react-app. Everything seems to work fine but when I open the console after npm run dev
, I see the error message: Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "react-dom/client". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".
Below are my project files.

I find it weird that react files are rendered despite the message..
CodePudding user response:
I believe the error comes from this line
<script type="module" src="../src/index.js"></script>
Since you are using Webpack to bundle, the injection is handled by Webpack. Remove that line, the app should still work and the error should disappear.
