Code
This bug is similar to #1373, but since it's only mentioning spaces and that it only happens on windows, I decided to create a new issue ticket. Feel free to merge both together if that's easier 👍
When you run webpack dev server it cannot load the /index.html and you receive a Cannot GET / Error. The problem comes from having a # in your directory path, i.e:
/path/to/my/#1/project/<project lives here>
WORKAROUND:
It works fine if you remove the # from the path.
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const WebpackMd5Hash = require('webpack-md5-hash');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require('clean-webpack-plugin');
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: {
main: './src/main.js'
},
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: '[name].[chunkhash].js'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: "babel-loader"
}
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: [
'style-loader',
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader',
'postcss-loader',
'sass-loader'
]
}
]
},
plugins: [
new CleanWebpackPlugin('dist', {}),
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'style.[contenthash].css',
}),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
inject: false,
hash: true,
template: './src/index.html',
filename: 'index.html'
}),
new WebpackMd5Hash(),
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
{
from: 'src/api',
to: 'api',
toType: 'dir'
}
])
],
stats: {
colors: true
},
devServer: {
contentBase: path.join(__dirname, "dist"),
compress: true,
port: 8000,
},
devtool: 'source-map'
};Expected Behavior
The webpack dev server is loading the index.html that is copied by the HtmlWebpackPlugin into the /dist folder.
Actual Behavior
I'm getting a blank page with an error: Cannot GET /.
For Bugs; How can we reproduce the behavior?
Try to run the webpack-dev-server from a project that has a # in the directory name, for example:
/path/to/my/#1/project/<project lives here>
