using webpack without config file: can't resolve ./src message error

[leandrojk]

Hi,

webpack 4.x.x can be used without configuration file (as said at https://webpack.js.org/concepts/ - "Since v4.0.0 webpack does not require a configuration file").
What is not said explicitly is that the root file must be index.js. If you put any other file name at src folder the error message is :

ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve './src' in '/home/leandro/repositorios-git/INE5646-2018/teste_webpack'

My sugestion: Alter docs and error message to let explicit the real cause of the problem: file ./src/index.js not found.

I'm still getting this error as well when using a config file. Has this been released yet?
Is there a way to change the entry point without adding an index.js?
Never mind found it: https://webpack.js.org/concepts/entry-points/

I assume the fix is just t fix the verbiage? And it's possible the project I'm working on doesn't have the latest version that may contain such a fix.
