Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError in App#index

Question

I've been trying to setup my dev environment using Rails v. 6.0.2.1 with webpacker creating a server on port 3035 while having a PostgreSQL database running on 5432. This is all done on windows, btw.

Essentially, I've been running into the issue that whenever I managed to get a steady connection to the database, webpacker appears to fail the compiling of my code and only produces a MissingEntryError. I've previously been able to produce a Manifest.Json file in my public/packs, but it was to my understanding that this file is autogenerated by the plugin.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

And this is the webpacker error log

ActionView::Template::Error (Webpacker can't find application in C:/Users/Bruger/Desktop/hydac-rails/public/packs/manifest.json. Possible causes:
1. You want to set webpacker.yml value of compile to true for your environment
   unless you are using the `webpack -w` or the webpack-dev-server.
2. webpack has not yet re-run to reflect updates.
3. You have misconfigured Webpacker's config/webpacker.yml file.
4. Your webpack configuration is not creating a manifest.
Your manifest contains:

Based on question from @stwienert

contents of webpack

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= ENV["RACK_ENV"] || "development"
ENV["NODE_ENV"]  ||= "development"

require "pathname"
ENV["BUNDLE_GEMFILE"] ||= File.expand_path("../../Gemfile",
  Pathname.new(__FILE__).realpath)

require "bundler/setup"

require "webpacker"
require "webpacker/webpack_runner"

APP_ROOT = File.expand_path("..", __dir__)
Dir.chdir(APP_ROOT) do
  Webpacker::WebpackRunner.run(ARGV)
end

Output of npx run webpack

C:\Users\Bruger\Desktop\hydac-rails\bin\webpack:3
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= ENV["RACK_ENV"] || "development"
