Hi, I got this issue also in this precise configuration:

I created the project repo in my dropbox, on Windows 10 (professional) laptop
I installed the npm dependencies and created package.json + webpack.config.js on Windows 10
I loaded the project on Visual Studio Code on Linux and ran “npm start” from Fedora 25 (personal laptop)

It could be related to the fact the config (global versus local) installation of some packages is not the same in the 2 environments (windows vs linux). After simply deleting the node_modules folder, without changing the config files, everything was back to normal again.

sudo chmod 755 -R node_modules/

It solved my problem without having to remove node_modules folder.
