Creating an optimized production build...
Failed to compile.

Cannot find "/tsconfig.prod.json" file. Please check webpack and ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin configuration. 
Possible errors: 
  - wrong `context` directory in webpack configuration (if `tsconfig` is not set or is a relative path in fork plugin configuration)
  - wrong `tsconfig` path in fork plugin configuration (should be a relative or absolute path)

Sorry for that - I've updated the docs accordingly.

@DorianGrey Thanks for the fast resolution. Why not just modify react-scripts-ts build to generate the file if it doesn't exist?

[DorianGrey]

It'd be dead code later on. I've considered this, but then thought it would not be that overwhelming complex to create a new file - at least in case it is documented which and how (which I simply forgot to add to the docs, unluckily).

Why is this file needed? Is this a dependency of an npm package the project is using or this project specifically?

[DorianGrey]

We received some requests to add the ability to use different typescript configurations for development and production mode. This requires different tsconfig files, even though one might extend the other. In the default version provided by the template, the tsconfig.prod.json simply extends tsconfig.json without further changes. However, both might be adopted to more specific use cases if required.

The functionality was added in this PR: #299
