Configuration.output.path: The provided value "dist" is not an absolute path!

Just setup and run the application they prompt an error message :

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration
object that does not match the API schema.

• configuration.output.path: The provided value "dist" is not an absolute path!

Existing Webpack version is:
webpack@2.6.1

I have same problem. Adding path.resolve do the thing:
const path = require('path');
output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname+ '/dist'), filename: '[name].js' }
