For what its worth I was having this issue and updated all packages according to this thread https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/2463 and it ended up being the html-webpack-plugin not having a filename property. Hope that helps someone!

The problem for me ended up being an incorrect path to my source file. The error message was just super ambiguous.
