Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs' #2029

jamiek-acl · 2019-06-14T23:43:46Z

Operating System: Mac OS
Node Version: 10.15.1
NPM Version: 6.4.1
webpack Version: 4.34.0
webpack-dev-server Version: 3.2.1
This is a bug...?
This is a modification request

Code

// webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const config = require('./webpack.dev.config');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

const newConfig = Object.assign({}, config);

newConfig.entry = ['@babel/polyfill', './app/features/Certifications/index', 'webpack/hot/only-dev-server'];

newConfig.output = {
  filename: 'webpack-certifications-bundle.js',
  path: path.resolve('../app/assets/webpack'),
  publicPath: '/',
};

newConfig.devServer = {
  historyApiFallback: true,
  hot: true,
  open: true,
  openPage: 'dashboard',
  port: 9000,
  proxy: {
    '/api': {
      target: 'http://localhost:9010',
      secure: false,
    },
  },
  publicPath: '/',
};

newConfig.plugins.push(new HtmlWebpackPlugin());

module.exports = newConfig;
module.exports.devtool = 'cheap-module-eval-source-map';

// package.json
scripts: {
  "dev:cert:webpack": "NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --config webpack.dev.certifications.config.js"
}

Expected Behavior

Running npm run dev:cert:webpack starts webpack dev server.

Actual Behavior

~/src/projects/client$ npm run dev:cert:webpack

hmm. webpack-cli changed a directory structure...
related: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/pull/781/files#diff-2ec72bdd4a30cf784ac1e831f1360746

But, why didn't you resolve this path? I want to know your webpkack-cli's version.

You use old webpack-cli version, please update webpack-cli

@evilebottnawi and @hiroppy I'm on the latest

    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.4",

hiroppy · 2019-06-17T16:01:43Z

We cannot reproduce your issue. if we need to investigate this issue, please submit the reproducible repo.

It looks like you used webpack-dev-server@3.7.1, but I had the problem with version 3.2.1 (I am not able to upgrade).

snaill · 2019-06-19T12:29:05Z

webpack-dev-server@3.7.1 is OK.

Same problem here.

webpack-dev-server@3.7.1: works

@snaill thx for investigation!

Dheeraj-GL · 2019-10-17T02:30:15Z

same issue on 3.8.2

sneeze-attack · 2019-10-19T17:55:25Z

I ran into this issue after updating webpack-cli from:

webpack-cli ^3.2.1 → ^3.3.9

I fixed it by changing:

node_modules\webpack-dev-server\bin\webpack-dev-server.js

Line 84:
require('webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs')(yargs);
To:
require('webpack-cli/bin/config/config-yargs')(yargs);

Line 92:
const config = require('webpack-cli/bin/convert-argv')(yargs, argv, {
To:
const config = require('webpack-cli/bin/utils/convert-argv')(yargs, argv, {

cjlarose · 2020-01-18T00:56:10Z

Fixed in #1754. Upgrade to webpack-dev-server 3.3.0 or higher.

jods4 · 2020-02-12T13:24:38Z

This is broken again when using webpack-cli 4.0.0 (in beta). There's only cli.js left inside webpack-cli/bin.

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T13:35:03Z

Please use webpack serve for run webpack-dev-server

jods4 · 2020-02-12T13:37:50Z

@evilebottnawi thanks for the tip. Is there any doc? Is that equivalent to webpack-dev-server (hmr, etc.) moving forward with webpack 5?

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T13:39:38Z

No docs right now, webpack-cli is still in beta, docs will be improved before stable release

jods4 · 2020-02-12T13:40:34Z

No problem, I'll figure it out. But it's the new way to run dev-server, with support for HMR?

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T13:44:41Z

@jods4 flags are unstable right now, please use the configuration file

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T16:39:47Z

I have the same issue with the webpack-cli 4.0.0 version. Is there some way to downgrade to an older version that works or how can i solve the problem?

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T16:46:22Z

Do not use webpack-cli@4, it is still in beta

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T16:47:29Z

Ok but how can I downgrade?

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T16:48:15Z

What is downgrade? We don't use webpack-cli@4, please look in own package.json

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T16:50:31Z

I got this, my question is how do i install an older (and working) version of webpack-cli?
This is probably quite obvious but I'm new to all this stuff ;)

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T16:54:04Z

npm i webpack-cli

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T16:55:59Z

Already tried this. It is adding + webpack-cli@4.0.0-beta.3 as the version...

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T17:28:17Z

Something wrong with a package manager because latest is 3.3.11 https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-cli

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T19:11:45Z

Thank you a lot! Unfortunately I have no idea what to look for or where the bug could be. Do you have any suggestions what to look out for? Or, if it is not to time consuming, here is a repo with the files. You would literually make my day. I try to set this thing up for hours now....
https://github.com/Loligplayer33/Portfolio-Website-2.0

alexander-akait · 2020-02-12T19:17:24Z

Just change https://github.com/Loligplayer33/Portfolio-Website-2.0/blob/master/package.json#L29 to ^3.3.11, remove package-lock.json and run npm i again

Loligplayer33 · 2020-02-12T19:21:23Z

can't thank you enough for your time ;)

bigbizze · 2020-02-28T21:25:22Z

I wrote a python script to fix the problem until it's patched.

You can just add the command to your package.json script after adding the file to your project (assuming you have python installed).

Remove node_modules folder and if you are using yarn change to npm and run npm install otherwise remove yarn.lock

Linbubin · 2020-06-24T03:22:33Z

webpack-cli@4 this problem still exists
run npm install -D webpack-cli@3 to solve it

I was trying to run yarn webpack-dev-server on an app running react-scripts. I forgot I had used create-react-app to bootstrap my app.

Running yarn start fixed the issue.

xdvarpunen · 2020-09-16T16:37:10Z

I had windows update today that prevented recognizing webpack and webpack-cli. After finishing the update and restarting PC the project recognized webpack and webpack-cli again.

matrunchyk · 2020-10-04T19:21:26Z

Same to me:

"webpack": "^5.0.0-rc.3",
"webpack-cli": "^4.0.0-rc.0",
"webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.0"

Works:

"webpack": "^5.0.0-rc.3",
"webpack-cli": "^3.3.12",
"webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.0"

matrunchyk · 2020-10-04T19:22:27Z

@evilebottnawi wanna reopen or should I create a new issue?

GurvirSingh · 2020-10-10T21:22:19Z

use the webpack-3.3.12 version npm i webpack-cli@3.3.12 and it should work!

alexander-akait · 2020-10-12T10:28:35Z

Need update webpack-cli to v4 (stable) and change webpack-dev-server bin in package.json on webpack serve:

Old:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "webpack-dev-server"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.12"
  }
}

New:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "webpack serve"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "webpack-cli": "^4.0.0"
  }
}

Please read my answer careful

dmitriid · 2020-10-12T15:42:05Z

@evilebottnawi Your answer is somewhere in the middle of 20-30 replies to this issues. It's nowhere in the README. The version didn't change, but somehow the behaviour broke due to a release of an external lib?

Dependabot has bumped cli version for quite a number of projects, so expect a lot of people flocking to this issue and potentially missing a response.

The best way to solve this is just to add a line to the README:

NPM package.json scripts are a convenient and useful means to run locally installed binaries without having to be concerned about their full paths. Simply define a script as such:

+ For webpack-cli 3.x:
+
"scripts": {
  "start:dev": "webpack-dev-server"
}

+ For webpack-cli 4.x:
+
+ "scripts": {
+  "start:dev": "webpack serve"
+}

And run the following in your terminal/console:

alexander-akait · 2020-10-12T16:21:13Z

Yes, we are working on bugs in webpack-cli, it will be improved after this
