redwood: fresh install bug - Unable to load '@webpack-cli/serve' command

Hi There,

I have just done a fresh install of 0.37.2 and when I try running yarn rw dev I get errors in my terminal and can not get a page to open.

% yarn rw dev 
yarn run v1.22.15

v0.37.3 will be out within the hour

Thank you to you and @jacebenson for reporting this.

The dependency of my dependency is my enemy…

…or so the saying goes.

Hi @Isaac-Tait So you cloned https://github.com/redwoodjs/example-blog?

Most likely what happened is that the yarn.lock updated (or was generated from scratch), and then included @webpack-cli/serve@1.6.0 in the yarn.lock. We did not add these patch changes (ie code mod to package.json to the Example Blog: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/releases/tag/v0.37.3

One quick fix is to search in your yarn.lock and remove the instance of @webpack-cli/serve@1.6.0, fixing it to v1.5.2 instead.

What a mess, regardless. I’m still working with the webpack-cli maintainer to get out a patch… 😦

Ah, got it thanks @jtoar

It’ll be an rc tag, which you can test with yarn rw upgrade -t rc. But no worries about that. Just keep a lookout for Redwood release patch!

@Isaac-Tait it looks like there’s a fix and it’s now in Redwood main branch. Going to test it this afternoon and, give success, release v0.37.5 patch.

Yes that is correct.

Thank you for the workaround - I will implement it 👍🏼 😄 Fingers crossed the webpack folks get a patch release ASAP 🤞🏼

Trying this in my root package.json to see if it resolves: Maybe just try to add the dependencies manually:

// ./package.json
...
  "devDependencies": {
    "@redwoodjs/core": "^0.37.2",
    "webpack": "5.57.1",
    "webpack-dev-server": "4.3.1",
    "webpack-cli": "4.9.0"
  },
...
