I am developing a react chrome extension.
I have a footer bar to navigate across my pages(components).
I am using react-router-dom to switch/route between pages.
My extension works perfectly when debugging but, after I build it (npm run build) and Load Unpacked at my extensions, the first page renders good but when I click my footer navigation buttons, my extension shows this message:
The webpage at chrome-extension://myextensionid/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web
address. ERR_UNEXPECTED
Is it because I did not publish it yet, routing only works after I publish my extension?
Any ideas what can be wrong, can you please help me with this issue?

while hosting react web page on GitHub pages it shows only white pages even though I used the instruction on the deployment of react page on Github.
I think it is due to the react-router-dom (Switch and route ) methods I used to redirect to its page. please give me a solution regarding this.
I tried to edit the package.json file but it not be solved and I also tried to push the file again to that repo branch
I'm new in react app development, I just build my practice app and deployed it through Netlify. I can visit my app and everything is fine till I refresh my window. Refreshing the window comes with an error page not found. what should I do to solve this problem?
You may need to look at providing a _redirects file in your root directory. See https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/
For example,
/* /index.html 200
As cra is single page application, you need server setting to redirect everytime to index.html,

After uploading my react app on gitHub pages its showing a blank page, and there is no error displaying in console. When I inspected the pages it says:
You need to enable javascript to run this page
but when I checked by browser settings it shows my javascript is enabled.
Here is my console
Here are the elements
Here is the Package.json
Also when I tested with a basic react app(no routes only single page) it was displaying properly
If gitHub is not publishing, is there any other alternative to publish my work?
Thanks
It looks good from my side. You should try with another browser to see if the problem persists.
I have a question.
I created a react website and everything works perfectly on local development.
So if I go to localhost:8080/about I get on the about page.
When I build the website only an index.html gets made.
When I navigate the website from the index page, it all works, also the urls changes to /about when I go to the about page through the menu.
But when I go to www.website.com/about by typing in the address I get an error page.
Who can help me with this?

You need to setup your react router accordingly. Usually you need to add one extra file in your build files. Below is the tutorial on how to setup react router using fierbase and netlify. If you deploy somewhere else, please let me know. I can help you with that.

I have a React application created by create-react-app. The app works fine, but I have run into a problem
I need to test som ad things on a plain html site, no additional React code. The problem I have is that the ads.txt tags need to be crawled by Google, which can take up to 24 hours on a new page/URL, time that I don't really have.
So I did the following. In my repo under /public folder I added a folder /ad-test with an index.html inside. When I serve it locally using npm start and go to http://localhost:3000/ad-test, it works fine.
Great, I thought and deployed it to the production environment, but now when I try to go to http://[my-site]/ad-test or http://[my-site]/yo-test/index.html it does not work (I get the React 404 site that I created).
I looked here and if I understand correctly, it is not possible to do it the way that I tried since the build stage will not include the public folder. Am I correct in this?
Any idea how to solve this?
EDIT:
I have a good knowledge of React and React Router in general, the app already uses <Switch><Route ... /></Switch> with a catch-all route directing to Not Found Component and the bottom.
The problem I have is that we include some ad scripts from an ad provider. The ads are not displayed in the application (adblockers totally removed from browser etc.) and the provider thinks that we have made errors in the React code.
We don't think that we made any errors (the ads were displayed fine in our test environment but not in prod) and we have to prove that React is not to blame for the ads not showing.
To do this we created a static HTML file with all ads hardcoded, no React components or other things that might disturb. BUT, because of ads and Google crawlers and ads.txt, we need to have the static test page under the same domain as our main page/application.
This is why I ask if it is possible to somehow add a static HTML that can be reached from http://my.page/test-page.html without being "intercepted" by react router, i.e. it exists outside React but on the same server.
When you use react by create-react-app, it means you are building a single-page application.
What this means is that after running npm run build you will have a build folder with only one html file called index.html in that fold.
This index.html does not know and has no relationship with your added 'index.html' in ad-test folder.
If you want your ad-test html to be recognised by react, you need to make it a component of app.js and use react-router to give it a pathname.
It is very simple.
First, install react-router-dom;
Second, set up react-router-dom;refer to https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/guides/quick-start
Third, give your add-test component a pathname.Your js code should look something like this:
<Route path='/ad-test' component={AdTest} />
IMPORTANT:
After you deploy your app, always remember you just built a single-page application.
You only have one html in your app.
Please make sure when you test your app after you deployed you must tell your service provider that no matter what pathname a user inputs in the address bar you always redirect it to the index.html
The build stage includes the public folder:
If you have a picture in the public folder, and this picture was imported to other components it will be shown after you run npm run build
Hope it helps.
Have you tried playing with webserver configurations? It is usually setup to redirect all traffic to index.html. Maybe exclude your static html path from redirection?
Place test-page.html in public folder like
public/path-to-static-html/test-page.html
Configure webserver for
directing all traffic to index.html EXCEPT /path-to-static-html which
will be directed to test-page.html.
For example, in case of Apache
you will be setting the DirectoryIndex directive.
