ERROR in No files matching 'xxx.js' were found

Question

I am developing a small project using webpack, React.js with Visual Studio. After renaming, deleting and creating a certain file with the name xxx.js I have got an error:

ERROR in No files matching 'C:\MyPath\src\ViewLayer\xxx.js' were found.
Failed to compile.
No issues found.

What could be an issue?

Answer 1

In my case I discovered that the entry C:\MyPath\src\ViewLayer\xxx.js exists in C:\MyPath\public\stats.json . I removed this file and restarted the project with regular:

npm start

It has worked. The error disappeared. Now I have:

Compiled successfully.
No issues found.

It is a vierd world:-)
