yarn add webpack --dev
this leads to

PR has been merged on enhanced-resolve. However we’ll have to wait until a release until any PR I make here will work.
I don’t suppose anyone could give me a hint on when that would be? Or how to watch effectively for it?
n.b. anyone coming back here who spots enhanced-resolve is on > 4.0.0, mention here and I’ll get my PR for webpack updated 😃
Can I put a plea in to consider a min version of 6.10 - this is because AWS Lambda runs 6.10.3 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/current-supported-versions.html) and therefore people using webpack in a matching environment to bundle their serverless functions will have some issues.
OK-
I started putting together a pull request building with node v.6.9.0 and I discovered why someone decided to bump the engine up to v6.11.5:
error enhanced-resolve@4.0.0: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=6.11.5".With a personal build of enhanced-resolve with the engine dropped to 6.9.0 all tests seem to pass and everything builds ok for me. But it does mean this is a two stage fix!
So, once I’ve got https://github.com/webpack/enhanced-resolve/issues/141 resolved and the corresponding PR (https://github.com/webpack/enhanced-resolve/pull/142) accepted, I’ll then upgrade my dependencies and make a PR with the engine change here.
