If you're using ES modules, use this:

output: {
  path: process.cwd(),
  filename: 'index.js',
}

or

output: {
  path: path.join(process.cwd(), 'dist'),
  filename: 'index.js',
}

Please Change 

 output: {
      path:'./',
      filename: 'index.js',
   }

To 

 output: {
      path: __dirname+'/',
      filename: 'index.js',
   }

Or in other words change path: __dirname + '/'
