Entry module not found - babel-loader

Question

ERROR in Error: Child compilation failed:
Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/Users/MarkPierre/Desktop/es6-project-2019/src/index.html' in '/Users/MarkPierre/Desktop/es6-project-2019':
Error: Can't resolve '/Users/MarkPierre/Desktop/es6-project-2019/src/index.html' in '/Users/MarkPierre/Desktop/es6-project-2019'
When I run the command npm run start, I get the error message mentioned above.
I've checked the path and it's there. Any ideas?
Seems like the issue occurs with template: './starter/src/index.html'. I've removed the starter, but still the same issue. Very frustrating as this is the final part of the config :-(
