misleading webpack.config

if you follow the lesson and copy the path param in the webpack config snippet code 
// webpack.config.js
  output: {
    path: 'public',
    ....
  }

that will install bundle.js in the public dir but index.html is not yet there, so when you run the browser, it will replace bundle.js with index.html
and it will output a weird error:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'
for a noob like me took me a while to figure it out...
