Error in Entry module not found and in webpack

Question

I'm new to JavaScript and follow a clear node-tutorial on Github. But whatever I've tried in all modules, I keep getting this error message when I run yarn dev:wds

    ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve './src' in 'C:\Users\Renate\projects'     
    ERROR in multi (webpack)-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080 ./src Module not found: 
    Error: Can't resolve './src'  in 'C:\Users\Renate\projects'  @ multi (webpack)-dev- 
    server/client?http://localhost:8

I've tried this solution, but reinstalling babel-loader 7 did not solve my problem. I've also tried to re-intall the entire webpack-module, but that did not solve my problem either.

My webpack.config.babel.js file:

// @flow

import path from 'path'
import webpack from 'webpack'

import { WDS_PORT } from './src/shared/config'
import { isProd } from './src/shared/util'

export default {
  entry: [
    'react-hot-loader/patch',
    './src/client',
  ],
  output: {
    filename: 'js/bundle.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/'),
    publicPath: isProd ? '/static/' : `http://localhost:${WDS_PORT}/dist/`,
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.(js|jsx)$/, use: 'babel-loader', exclude: /node_modules/ },
    ],
  },
  devtool: isProd ? false : 'source-map',
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.js', '.jsx'],
  },
  devServer: {
    port: WDS_PORT,
    hot: true,
    headers: {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.optimize.OccurrenceOrderPlugin(),
    new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new webpack.NamedModulesPlugin(),
    new webpack.NoEmitOnErrorsPlugin(),
  ],
}

My babelrc.json file:

And if you check this Github page or this, you will see there are more with the same problem, but no solution worked for me so far. Hope you can help me!

update

I've also tried the suggestion of Alex (see answer here below), did not work.

    ...
    entry: [
       'react-hot-loader/patch',
       path.resolve(__dirname, './src/client')
       ],

    ...

Answer 1

I checked your repo and I solved the webpack issue. the main issue was everytime you imported a jsx file, you need to write the extention as jsx. and also there were some errors inside components so some of the components were not resolved. here is one in button.jsx

// type Props = {
//   label: string,
//   handleClick: Function,
// }

and also since implementation of many packages changed, bundle.js is giving error. for example for react hot reload package, there is no need to import this :

 import { AppContainer } from 'react-hot-loader'

check the documentation.

also many babel packages were old version. so i Installed the new packages. you can check the package.json.

implementation of webpack config was also wrong. in webpack.config.js entry point takes relative path but output point takes absolute path. I organized the webpack.config.js.

this project also implements server-side code but for this, you need another webpack.config.js for dev. and also for server-side rendering, you need to use ReactDOM.hydrate and also there are too many important things that this project did not implement. here is the repo:
