webpack dev server error after npx create-react-app

I run npx create-react-app and when I start it I get the error: Module not found:

Error: Can't resolve 'D:#MyCode\React\playground\node_modules\webpack-dev-server\client\index.js?protocol=ws%3A&hostname=0.0.0.0&port=3000&pathname=%2Fws&logging=none&reconnect=10' in 'D:#MyCode\React\playground'

How can I fix this? All my previous projects that build with create-react-app also have this error. I tried to delete and re-install node_modules. I deleted webpack-dev-server globally and reinstall it. Still I have this error everywhere. Only projects with custom webpack config still work.

Solution

  • The issue is actually with your system path to the react app. Make sure that none of the folder in the path to your react app contains #.

    I was also facing the same issue and I removed # from the folder name and it starts working. For example : I have changed 'folderName#' to 'folderName'.
