webpack not loading index.ejs in node js

I have this express server code:

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'public')));

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '..', 'views'));

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.render('index');
});

This is not working when i am running it through webpack and making the bundle and running the bundle. it gives me this error:

Error: Cannot find module "."

BUT if i run this without webpack it works. If i change the routing with this:

app.get('/', (req, res)=>{
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname,'..') + '/views/index.html');
});

Help would be much appreciated!
