Tried implementing @dapetcu21's solution and I'm still getting the same error:

            throw new MemoryFileSystemError(errors.code.EINVAL, path);
         ^
Error: invalid argument

@ engageft3 Try logging the path and see what it is. For me the problem was my output path in webpack.config.js wasn't absolute, and had a ./build rather than build. But, the regex still had to be changed.

[NicholasGWK]

Worked around it by putting '/' at the beginning of my path in output for webpack config, causes it to think it's *nix

[NicholasGWK]

@stephenmathieson Yeah that workaround works for me, I think it address the path correctly in the in memory system. Reminder for anyone who reads this to only do this in the dev config, otherwise if you're on Windows the production webpack build with start writing to C:/build or similar :).

output.path must be an absolute value. This is also required by webpack.
