React.lazy "Failed to import dynamically imported module"

Question

I just started trying to implement lazy loading in my React app. I was learning about React.lazy and Suspense for lazy loading.

The following is the code example in the docs:

import React, { Suspense } from 'react';

const OtherComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./OtherComponent'));

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
        <OtherComponent />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

And then my code:

import React, { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';

const Home = lazy(() => import('./containers/home/home.component'));

const App = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Suspense fallback={<div>...Loading</div>}>
                <Home />
            </Suspense>
        </div>
    );
};

export default App;

For some reason, my code is giving the following errors:

Failed to load module script: The server responded with a non-JavaScript MIME type of "text/html". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.


react-dom.development.js:11865 Uncaught TypeError: Failed to fetch dynamically imported module: http://localhost:3000/static/js/containers/home/home


The above error occurred in one of your React components:
    in Unknown (at App.js:38)
    in Suspense (at App.js:37)
    in div (at App.js:35)
    in App (created by ConnectFunction)
    in ConnectFunction (at src/index.js:14)
    in Router (created by BrowserRouter)
    in BrowserRouter (at src/index.js:13)
    in Provider (at src/index.js:12)

Consider adding an error boundary to your tree to customize error handling behavior.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and would love to hear from anyone who has experienced something similar

Not sure of the exact cause of the issue, but it seems that some package install was corrupted, deleting node_modules and re-installing resolved the issue.
