Cannot find module "../build/manifest.json"

[ttbarnes]

Hey, this starter looks great, but I can't run it from a fresh install.

I followed the steps:

git clone
npm install
npm start

I get the following error, just like in #78

/Users/tonyb/_projects/vortigern/build/server.js:70
	var manifest = __webpack_require__(!(function webpackMissingModule() { var e = new Error("Cannot find module \"../build/manifest.json\""); e.code = 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'; throw e; }()));
	                                                                                                                                                                        ^

My node version is 6.8.1, mac OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6.

Have the same problem on ubuntu 16.04, node version 7.0.0, npm version 3.10.8 .

Same here.
OSX Sierra
node 7.1.0
npm 4.0.2

I think the problem is a new version of React that removes ReactMount.js from its lib folder. Does the problem persist if you downgrade react to "react": "15.3.2"?

At least there seems to be some issue with that now that has to be solved by upgrade'ing react-hot-loader.

I downgrade react to 15.3.2 and everything seems to work fine.

Win 10, node 6.2.0, npm 3.10.6

Downgrading to "react": "15.3.2" worked, it required setting the version of the following dependencies as well.
"react-addons-test-utils": "~15.3.2",
"react-dom": "15.3.2"

However using the existing clone I could successfully run build:prod with react 15.4.0.
It does seem to be the hot-loader, possibly:

Try and I'll reopen the issue if it's not fixed for you (remove node_modules directory before reinstalling it).

Thanks all, working fine with react 15.3.2.

You can try install "uglifyes-webpack-plugin". I also came across this problem. That i tried update something or lowered version is invalid.
