Missing bundles / parse-dashboard not working

[mohannad-abwah]

I've been trying to get parse-dashboard running on Azure for a few days now with no luck. I get an empty white page. After looking into it a little bit more it seems it's not set up correctly as the entire bundles folder is missing in wwwroot/Parse-Dashboard/public.

Environment Setup / repro steps

1. Go to Azure portal
2. Deploy a new web app
3. Go to Deployment options
4. Hook it up to this repo directly using external repository
5. Add the following environment variables in Application Settings:
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP: 1
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_SERVER_URL:
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_MASTER_KEY:
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_APP_ID:
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_APP_NAME:
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_USER_ID: "user1"
   PARSE_DASHBOARD_USER_PASSWORD: "pass"
6. Restart

Try it here: http://brokenparsetest.azurewebsites.net/
(don't worry that's just a test server with no important information whatsoever)

Logs/Trace

It says deployment went fine. In fact even the request for the dashboard.bundle.js returns a 200, but since the file doesn't exist the content doesn't make any sense. It's actually identical to the HTML that comes back, which doesn't work.

If I go into the App Service Editor and run "npm run dev" in the console manually I get this:

\> npm run dev

> parse-dashboard@1.0.18 dev D:\home\site\wwwroot
> node ./Parse-Dashboard/index.js & webpack --config webpack/build.config.js --devtool eval-source-map --progress --watch


D:\home\site\wwwroot\Parse-Dashboard\index.js:10
const path = require('path');

please people, is there no way of hacking this?
I see no complaints n this issue for 2017.
did people give up on Parse?

'webpack' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Seems that either web pack is not installed, npm install hasn't been run or else...
