Hey @pokvoja, please provide the npm log that was generated. A pastebin link or something similar to that would be best :)

[pokvoja]

Try updating all webpack related packages to their latest versions and try again? Particularly webpack, and webpack-dev-server

[akmadian]

@pokvoja I'm assuming since you've opened a PR, you fixed this issue? If so, what was the solution?

[onyijne]

Getting the same error, and it appears to be deprecated issues.
Would it be out of place if I suggest we migrate cc-chooser to a vue-cli project?

[obulat]

I can reproduce this issue, and unfortunately, after trying to solve it (by updating everything related to webpack and trying other possible steps) I had to go back to commit 48bd00b.
I've also read that sometimes the problem shows up on Linux and Windows machines, but not on MacOS.

[akmadian]

Could not reproduce.

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 1809 17763.914 64 bit
• Node: v10.15.3
• npm: v6.4.1

@obulat please post your os, node, and npm info in this thread. Let's narrow it down :) not sure if this will be relevant once we transition to vue3-cli, though.

[obulat]

My details are:

• OS: Windows 10 Home edition 1903 18362.535 64 bit
• node: v13.3.0
• npm: v. 6.4.1

Is it because of the Node version? It might also be due to the global Webpack version, but I've already uninstalled it
