html-webpack-plugin: TypeError: Cannot read property 'request' of undefined every time upgrade occurs (don't close please)

TypeError: Cannot read property 'request' of undefined occurs every time webpack is upgraded and it’s very bothersome. The following was closed https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin/issues/683 and the solution is correct: removing node_modules and reinstall everything again because of conflicts.

Now here an example where the error is fired (just upgraded webpack): how can I identify the troublesome modules to ask maintainer to update their dependencies?

imac:react-app damz$ npm ls webpack
