ERROR in missing ) after argument list
 @ multi main
webpack: bundle is now VALID.

Accessing my vagrant VM running supposedly on localhost:3000 is inaccessible as well. I wish there was more information as to where things went wrong. But here's my files for inspection:

package.json

{
  "name": "es6-react-setup",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {    
    "start": "webpack-dev-server"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.3.2",
    "react-dom": "^15.3.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "webpack": "^1.13.2"
  }
}

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
    entry: './main.js',
    output: {
        path: './',
        filename: 'index.js'
    },
    devServer: {
        inline: true,
        port: 3000
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                loader: 'babel',
                query: {
                    presets: ['es2015', 'react']
                }
            }
        ]
    }

}

I can't for the love of god figure out why this is so difficult to get up and running with node, es6.

As the template said, these kind of questions are better suited for StackOverflow. You'll get better help there.

The error says something about a missing ). If you temporarily make ./main.js almost empty, do you still have that error?

[whatsdis]

I understand, but not getting any good answers.

yes still getting that error after emptying it out

[SpaceK33z]

And do you also get this error when using webpack instead of webpack-dev-server?

[SpaceK33z]

I'm going to close this. I would really recommend to post such questions on Stack Overflow, where more people can help you.
