create-react-app: Entry module not found: Error: [CaseSensitivePathsPlugin]

Hi folks,

I’m getting a compilation error after following the tutorial and running npm start inside my-app.

Html Webpack Plugin:
  Error: Child compilation failed:
  Entry module not found: Error: [CaseSensitivePathsPlugin] `C:\users\myuser\pr  ojects\create-react-app\my-app\index.html` does not match the corresponding pa  th on disk `Projects`.:
  Error: [CaseSensitivePathsPlugin] `C:\users\myuser\projects\create-react-app\  my-app\index.html` does not match the corresponding path on disk `Projects`.

There’s some really suspicious whitespace in the middle of the path, not sure if relevant.

Environment: Windows 10 Node version 6.4.0 npm version 3.10.7 project path, C:/Users/myuser/Projects/create-react-app/my-app (The Projects directory has a capital P which could be relevant)

Ooohhh! I found why it was inconsistent 😄

I’m using git Bash, if I

cd /c/users/myuser/Projects/create-react-app/my-app
npm start

It works.

If I

cd /c/users/myuser/projects/create-react-app/my-app
npm start

It doesn’t work!

Thanks to you both for cooperation.

Can you reliably reproduce this with any folder that starts with a capital letter on Windows? Maybe it’s case-sensitive-paths-webpack-plugin that needs a fix then.

Experienced the same issue using react-create-app and attempting to import styled from ‘styled-components’ .

Fix was as others have said moving the entire project to a lower case directory (C:\lowercase\app …etc) It was originally located at C:\Users\MyName … etc

Maybe it’s a first-time use issue. I tried to rename the ‘components’ folder back to ‘Components’ folder, and it works now.
