Trouble updating webpack on the starter-react project

Glitch Help

I have some troubles updating webpack on the starter-react project: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/starter-react

When I bump the version, to ~4.8 or even 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1, or even downgrade to 4.1.0, this is the error I get:

Installing...

 WARN  webpack > watchpack > chokidar: Skipping failed optional dependency fsevents@1.2.3

Packages: +48 -38

 ERROR  ENOTDIR: not a directory, rename '/rbd/pnpm-volume/7b3082d5-1d99-4bcf-a35c-e59577f63572/node_modules/.registry.npmjs.org/@webassemblyjs/wasm-parser/1.4.3/node_modules/@webassemblyjs/_tmp_7385_79f7cf186681f861ae22d14aa9db3125' -> '/rbd/pnpm-volume/7b3082d5-1d99-4bcf-a35c-e59577f63572/node_modules/.registry.npmjs.org/@webassemblyjs/wasm-parser/1.4.3/node_modules/@webassemblyjs/wasm-parser'


/etc/app-types/node/start.sh: line 43: webpack: command not found

This problem does not appear locally, so I’m not sure where to start debugging the problem.

Does anyone else experience this issue?

Just ran into this issue. Any updates?

Edit: Just realized I forgot to add the webpack-cli dependency to package.json… that was probably it (fingers crossed).

Edit 2: Nope. Going to try downgrading the version of webpack and webpack-cli to match the starter project.

Hi!

One of the dependencies of the latest webpack declares itself as a dependency in its package.json, creating a loop that pnpm wasn’t handling correctly. A new version with the fix will be available soon, but in the meantime you can either downgrade to webpack 4.7.0, or run enable-npm in the console, to use npm instead of pnpm.
