My react site (not using create-react-app) builds but won't load

app name: https://reverent-babbage-164d88.netlify.app/

Update: I moved the index.html to the root folder and that loads. Unfortunately, the app is still not booting up. It’s loading the index page but not booting the app. Nice. :slight_smile:

the build says “site is live” but the site doesn’t load. It’s a plain react app–not using create-react-app. Is there anything special I need to do to have netlify load the site? Currently, I launch it locally using npm run start. Do I need to create some metadata describing how to start the app?

Looks like you’ve followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn’t exist on this site.

P.S.,
I did buy a domain and am pointing to it. I just did it in the last 4 hours.However, not even
this link https://reverent-babbage-164d88.netlify.app/ launches it
domain: www.enhuff.com

thanks in advance

I think we need some more information. What is your build directory (usually its public)? How are you deploying the site (through the cli, or wired up to a git repo)?

Just from looking at those logs, I see **2:17:24 PM: No build command found, continuing to publishing**. In your repo what do you have as your npm run build command in your package.json?

Here’s my package.js build: “build”: “node_modules/.bin/webpack --mode production”
I’m using npm run build as my build command. here’s my webpack config.

module.exports = {
devtool: 'source-map',
entry: "./index.js",
output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, "/dist"),
    filename: "index_bundle.js",
    publicPath: '/'
},
module: {
    rules: [{
        test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
            loader: 'babel-loader',
            options: {
                presets: ['@babel/preset-react',{
                    'plugins': ['@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties']}]
            }
        }
    }, {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(
            {
                fallback: 'style-loader',
                use: ['css-loader']
            }
        )
    },
    {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/,
        use: [
            {
                loader: 'file-loader'
            }
        ]
    }
    ],

},
plugins: [
    new HtmlWebPackPlugin({
        hash: true,
        filename: "index.html",  //target html
        template: "./index.html" //source html
    }),
    new ExtractTextPlugin({ filename: 'css/style.css' }),
 
]

}

Also, the build now says:

What do you have configured as your ‘deploy folder’ on netlify?

I decided to use create-react-app and now I’m getting this:

I finally fixed the problem and managed to optimize a few things. “All warnings are treated as errors” was the culprit. In my package.json file, I added CI=false. Until I fix some of the warnings, this will do. Thanks

CI=false react-scripts build
