I have this problem and I think it has happened to many people.
I uploaded a react project to github pages, when I access to see the deploy, the screen appears blank, and the console tells me this, "main.jsx not load", I clarify that the file "main.jsx" is inside the repository.

I would appreciate your answers, in the meantime I will try to deploy on vercel...
I still haven't managed to solve this, the file "main.jsx" is in the repository uploaded, but in the deploy it doesn't read it.

So I have built a react app from scratch using npx create-react-app. Everything was going great and I decided to deploy it, to which I hit a lot of problems. Using BlueHost has the host, I accessed the CPanel and inserted the build folder, which i used npm run build to create. The website loaded correctly on chrome, however issues within Safari and Mobile browsers emerged, the page was empty.
After doing further research, I decided that the issue was in deployment and not dependencies. I came to this conclusion because I was able to run a local server on both Chrome and Safari, to which the website worked. If it was a dependency issue, it would not have worked on the local server.
So, I decided to start debugging the build folder. However, this is where an issue emerged, I could not load it at all on a server. I tried using serve -s build, but that directed me to an error screen, 404: the requested path could not be found. If I try to plainly use the index.html, open with browser method on my build, it directs my to an empty page with an invalid url, file:///Users/danieldobrovolskiy/Documents/optimal-exterior/build/index.html.
Apologies if my question is vague or incoherent in someway. I'm seriously confused with the deployment process and have no idea what to even ask. All help is appreciated! Let me know if further information is needed.[
Have you set a homepage in package.json? it should be like "homepage": "./" if you're deploying off the main folder of the webserver

I had the same problem and I found easier to use Netlify to upload websites.
I think if you are using only an html file you can just set the github pages with root and it shouldn't reuqire to use build run, I think the build command it is for projects done with frameworks/more complext. Try to do like that maybe it will work.
this is my first post on stackoverflow. I'm writing because I couldn't find a clear answer to my question. I don't know if the title is the right way to put it but it's what I went with.
The Situation:
I'm creacting a single-page-application with react and intend to build the back-end with node.js and express.js, but for now it's just react. I used create-react-app to create the project and I'm using Firebase for hosting.
The folder to deploy in the firebase.json file is set to build. So when I want to deploy my web app to firebase, I use the npm run build command first to create the build folder which will be deployed.
When I then go to my website, open the chrome developer tools and click on source I can see all my files inside a static folder. I see it just the way I formated it, as if I was inside my code editor. All the components. My entire folder structure. Basically the whole code of my app is viewable in it's entirety.
I was a bit shocked and confused so I checkt if this is normal. I went on big websites like youtube or twitter but I could find hardly anything in their source folder. When I view the source of twitter it does have some files which is just plain and open javascript but not alot. And also the folder structure is not visible. I need to view files using Ctrg + P. Most files look different too etc.
It's best if you just have a look at the source section for twitter in the dev tools. I don't really understand what I'am seeing but I notice it is diffrent when compared to my website's source.
Their webpack somehow doesn't map the bundle out into plain readable code. My bundles in the build folder are mapped into exactly what they were before being bundled. At least that is how it seems to me.
Simple and short: Source of my website shows everthing (all the files) just as it is and for everyone to see. Source of big websites it doesn't do that. Their's is somehow concealed. And I want to know what they did, how they did it and how I can do the same.
I have seen many people say that it isn't important if it is no security risk and I know a bit about obsfuscation, but I believe they do something else too.
I also want to emphesize that this isn't about if I need to do it or not. I want to do it but I dont now how or what. I haven't found any place were this was adressed completely so I really don't understand how it's done.
I am thankful for any help I can get.
put GENERATE_SOURCEMAP=false in the package.json scripts -> builds and then run npm run build. Hope it will work.
"scripts": {
"build": "GENERATE_SOURCEMAP=false react-scripts build"
}

You are basically looking for a module bundler and there are a lot out there, the most used is https://webpack.js.org
It is very simple to use and there is an online tool to help generate the config file for different use cases https://createapp.dev/webpack/no-library
What webpack does, it will create a bundle.js for you so at the end your project will be just two files index.html and bundle.js
Hi everybody im actually working for a company and they are asking me to show them my React Website while im working on it. They have a website that is connected to our GitLab Project and if i type http.websitename/folderOnGitLab it actually comes out whats inside the folder but with react it shows the code , not the website , because the only way i know how to open react app is by "npm run start" from local, i dont really know how to "append my app in that website from GitLab" . I have already pushed all my React App but i dont really know how to make that visible to everyone as a website not only as a code. The website is a website they host so is always online and is connected to the project as i said. So i kinda have all the material but dont know how to make that work. For example i have pushed Test.txt and if i type website/Test.txt it shows the inside of it , so the website works.
It depends on how your app was set up, but probably you need to run npm run build, which will package up your app to be used on a production website.
This will be in the /build folder, the contents of which can be hosted online.
I'm not sure how you've managed to get that folder working on that website, it definitely isn't best practice to have all the code hosted online like that, but for a temporary solution you can just go to http.websitename/folderOnGitLab/build and it will probably work.
In the future you want to copy just the contents of the /build folder to be visible on http.websitename/folderOnGitLab.
Edit: The /build folder will be excluded from git, don't put that on GitLab, just the other source files, as you can re-generate it any time by running np run build
You can try using heroku. Once you push to heroku, it deploys your code and provides a url which you can share. It's free.

Are you using gitlab pipelines?
If yes, you can configure ngrok in one of your jobs.
If someone wants to see your work, this person just need to play the job that have the ngrok tool and it will receive a custom link with the application.
To stop the app, you just need to click in the cancel button
I am attempting to use create-react-app in AWS Cloud9. While I have no problems creating the app, when I try to run npm start I just get this screen. When I clicked on "Why am I seeing this?" I was taken to this page, which led me to turn on HTTPS. While HTTPS was enabled, it did not fix the issue. create-react-app's Github page suggested that CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true is required for virtual machines, but that also did not fix the issue: it now creates a blank page, as shown here. Finally, thinking that perhaps the issue was due to some accidental change, I deleted the directory and made a fresh one, but the issue persisted.
Any insight on how this can be resolved would be appreciated.
I had a similar issue. For me I was just going about it the wrong way and I can preview my application by going to Preview at the top of the IDE and then Preview Running Application.
