Webpack-dev-server not bundling even after showing bundle valid message

Question

I\'ve set up a basic react application with webpack but I couldn\'t get the webpack-dev-server running properly.

I\'ve installed webpack-dev-server

Answer 1

webpack-dev-server serves your bundle.js from memory. It won't generate the file when you run it. So bundle.js is not present as a file in this scenario.

If you wan't to use bundle.js, for example to optimize it's size or test your production deployment, generate it with webpack using the webpack command and serve it in production mode.
