Setup Error

[KrGyan]

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.

• configuration.output.path: The provided value "dist" is not an absolute path!

Steps:

1. cloned the repo.
2. npm install (to install all dependencies)
3. npm start - (Error got on this step)

Hi,

solution for this error actually is:

const ngtools = require('@ngtools/webpack');
const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
	entry: {
		main: './src/main.server.ts'
	},
	resolve: {
      extensions: ['.ts', '.js']
    },
	target: 'node',
	output: {
		path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
		filename: '[name].js'
	},
	plugins: [
		new ngtools.AotPlugin({
			tsConfigPath: './tsconfig.json'
		})
	],
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
              test: /\.ts$/,
              loader: '@ngtools/webpack'
            }
		]
	}
}

But unfortunately, after i fixed this, another errors occured:
