angular-cli: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin'

After upgrading to 1.4.5 (Windows 10, Node 8.6.0) and running ng serve I get this error:

Cannot find module ‘webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin’

I rebooted my machine, reinstalled all npm packages, nothing helps.

Basically, this is a blocking issue.

having the same problem Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin' For me last working version of @angular/cli was 1.5.0-rc.2 RC3 -> RC8 doesn’t work. npm --version: 5.5.1 node modules are installed correctly.

update: Install webpack as a devDependency. Fixed for me.

For me this solved the problem after deleting node_modules and installing again with nmp install

npm remove webpack -g npm i webpack --save-dev npm run webpack

I had the same issue but on our CI. I downgraded the CLI from 1.4.5 to 1.4.4 and that fixed my issue
