[moved to issue] CLI for webpack must be installed ?!?!?

ajoslin103 · September 19, 2022, 11:47pm

Why do I get this error? It seems to HALT the web side which doesn’t get any further, the browser is never launched…

web | CLI for webpack must be installed.
web |   webpack-cli (https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli)
web |
web | We will use "npm" to install the CLI via "npm install -D webpack-cli".
Do you want to install 'webpack-cli' (yes/no): Generating TypeScript definitions and GraphQL schemas...

Can you give some more context here?

What command are you running?

Do you have any custom webpack configuration?

Is this new behavior after upgrading to v3?

What changes were made recently?

Apologies - things have been going pretty badly with all of the issues with yarn and everything.

I have been trying to build a docker-compose.yml and have been running into conflicts between yarn 1.22 & 3.2 – I finally got the docker working but now the yarn rw dev is failing…

For now I’m using RW 2.2.4 - and considering moving up to RW 3.0

When executing yarn rw dev the result is as shown previously (using node v16.16.0)

I’ve executed yarn rw setup webpack but not extended it

– and when I install webpack-cli with -D the result is different

There are complaints of this problem going back 4yrs at least…

this is the closest to what I’m experiencing

github.com/webpack/webpack

webpack keeps asking if I want to install webpack-cli

**Do you want to request a *feature* or report a *bug*?** I guess this is a b…ug **What is the current behavior?** I just installed Webpack, using: npm install -g webpack I then run webpack from the command line without parameters: webpack Each time I do this, it asks me if I want to install the webpack-cli Would you like to install webpack-cli? (That will run npm install -D webpack-cli) (yes/NO) When I reploy with n or just newline, and then run webpack again, it asks me again if I want to install webpack-cli. When I hit y, it seems to set out to install webpack-cli. It gives me these messages: npm WARN deprecated babel-preset-es2015@6.24.1: 🙌 Thanks for using Babel: we recommend using babel-preset-env now: please read babeljs.io/env to update! npm WARN deprecated nomnom@1.8.1: Package no longer supported.

Or that it installs webpack-cli when I reply y and then stops asking me if I want to install webpack-cli again. **If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?** **Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version, and Operating System.** node: 6.11.5 webpack: just installed OS: windows 10

this problem is being addressed here: [Bug?]: yarn create redwood-app fails on node 16.17.0 LTS · Issue #6338 · redwoodjs/redwood · GitHub

TLDR; drag all my code into a new 3.0 project
