Trying to push webpack to gh-pages

Question

I try to push my app build with react/redux/webpack to gh-pages. But with everything I find on the web seen that the pages don't render. What I got from the console it's a error about github can't get the bundle.js file.

I think I maybe miss something but can't figured out. I try to push to Heroku too and get the same result.

This is the repository.

Solution 1

the page is expecting the bundle.js to be in 'static' directory. Since gh-pages does not run your server.js, you'd want to either manually create static folder and put bundle.js there, or provide a proper path to the bundle.js from the HTML file

Solution 2

Github Pages can only host static files. You need to build your project and then publish the generated files. You should at least have index.html and bundle.js

Solution 3

To work with github pages make your webpack compile to the root path / rather than /static, /dist or such.

Should look something like this in webpack.config.js

  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: '/',
  },
