yarn start can't access /about page -> working fine on "yarn build"

[klijakub]

Hello, I have a strange problem.

after clone react-static-boilerplate project from github and install all dependencies and use $ yarn start, everything working fine except one thing, When I click on "About" button it's not redirecting me to /about it just change address and stay in home page,

When I use $ yarn build, and copy all files from public folder to my hosting it's working just perfect

but I want to test it in development mode (yarn start) on my vps and there is weird stuff

fragment of my routes.json

  {
    "path": "/about",
    "page": "./about"    
  },

but if I change my routes json to

   {
    "path": "/sign_up",
    "page": "./sign_up",
    "chunk": "main"
  },

/about working in development mode (yarn start) but not working after yarn build and copy to static files to hosting

I don't understand that chunk option, any help please?

@klijakub Did you solve this problem? I was unable to replicate it with a fresh install.

About the chunk option: it's used for code-splitting in webpack. You can check out tools/routes-loader.js to find out how this is implemented. (From what I understand, you should set "chunk": "main" for pages that you want to be bundled into the main.js file, like the home page. Webpack will decide how to bundle the rest.)

I reproduced this issue when I had port 3000 being used by another server, then RSB used 3003. The about link did not work as it was trying to get the chunk from port 3000?
