Trying to run serve.js on Windows gives me an importUtils error

I'm having a problem when trying to run serve.js. When I attempt to run it, it gives me an error about importUtils being unsupported on Windows. What can I do to fix this?

Ah, sorry about this. None of our developers build on Windows (it's a common story) so I forgot about this file.

As we're just using the path library to work with the path parts of URLs (which always have "/" slashes), you could try replacing the path import with:

const path = require('path').posix;

Okay, will try this now. Thanks!

I tried this, and it started the page. However, when I try to load the page it gives me an error in the DevTools console saying that http://localhost:8000/src/:config.json gave a 404 error. What could this be for?
