I ran into this same problem trying to install inertia/react on top of laravel 8. I fixed the error by adding the Pages folder to resources/js in the laravel project. It happens because following the inertia doc, you reference

resolveComponent={name => require(./Pages/${name}).default}

inside the app.js render function but that folder doesn't exist until you create it. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, I'm running in the same problem, but creating resources/js/Pages didn't fix it. Is this where you created that folder?

Sorry, found it. I had @/Pages/${name} instead of ./Pages/${name}

If this worked, mind giving me an upvote? I'm new to stackoverflow :)
