React 16 warning "warning.js:36 Warning: Did not expect server HTML to contain a <div> in <div>."
Just change express response from
<body>
<div id="root">
${markup}
</div>
</body>
to
<body>
<div id="root">${markup}</div>
</body>
Remove space between tags
Looking for that error in the react code it seems that this happens when the SSR html can't be rehydrated.

So you are somehow initially rendering a different tree on the client vs the server.
