DeprecationWarning: Tapable.plugin is deprecated. Use new API on .hooks instead

Hi,

This warning is causing, due to upgradation on Webpack 4 because they are still using the old plugin API, they need to be upgraded to the latest version.

I am getting the below error:

This workaround has worked for me

File: node_modules/webpack-visualizer-plugin/lib/plugin.js
Line: 44

change
compiler.plugin('emit', function (compilation, callback) {
by
compiler.hooks.done.tap('emit', function (compilation, callback) {
