Soy nuevo en el desarrollo de JS, en un intento de cargar en caliente los cambios usando webpack-dev-server, mantengo la excepción anterior. La pila exacta es:

Error: `output.path` needs to be an absolute path or `/`.

Aquí están los archivos de configuración del paquete web que ya he probado:

module.exports = {
    entry: "./client/app.jsx",
    output: {
        path: "dist/js",
        filename: "bundle.js",
        publicPath: "http://127.0.0.1:2992/js"
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /.jsx?$/,
                loader: "babel-loader",
                include: /client/
            }
        ]
    }
};

Y:

module.exports = {
    entry: "./client/app.jsx",
    output: {
        path: "/Users/mybox/work/day1/ex6/dist/js",
        filename: "bundle.js",
        publicPath: "http://127.0.0.1:2992/js"
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /.jsx?$/,
                loader: "babel-loader",
                include: /client/,
                query: {
                    presets:['react']
                }
            }
        ]
    }
};

A continuación se muestra mi archivo package.json
