CLI outputs YError: Too many arguments provided. Expected max 2 but received 3 when running webpack dev server

Issue Description

When running npm start to run the webpack dev server, we're seeing the following error ouput:

YError: Too many arguments provided. Expected max 2 but received 3

Webpack compiles correctly and starts the server, however this error may be concern to new contributors. It looks like there are some issues logged against webpack for this issue.

• yargs "Too many arguments" with v2.8.x webpack/webpack-dev-server#1087
• Too many arguments provided webpack/webpack-dev-server#983

Issue Type

• New Feature
• Enhancement
• Bug
• Other

Expected Behavior

Running npm start should not generate any error messages in regards to number of arguments provided

I'm not seeing this error output when executing npm start to run the webpack dev server - this a non issue now?

I think this issue was resolved when we updated to webpack v3. Gonna close this.
