I had a similar error trying to run a Jhipster app, the error is:

Some suggest to update the webpack-cli from 4.9.2 to 4.10.0

For me works and could run npm start

I hope works for you.

so im trying to install the new version of webpack-cli but is not working or they said is the currenty update version, any help on this?

CodePudding user response：

Ensure you are in your project directory in your terminal

first, type the following in your terminal and hit enter

npm install --save-dev webpack-cli

then type the following and hit enter:

npm upgrade --save-dev webpack-cli

it should work

Maybe you will have to do this in every new project you create.
