Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs'

[codeGun123]

If you upgrade webpack to 5. *, and webpack cli to 4. *, an error will be reported:

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs'

Temporary solution:
Back off webpack cli to version 3. * for example:

"webpack-cli": "^ 3.3.12"

Is it an event similar to this?
webpack/webpack-dev-server#2759

Yes, thank you. It has been solved. My configuration is as follows:

 "start": "webpack serve --progress --color --config webpack/dev.js"

 "webpack": "^5.1.0",
 "webpack-cli": "^4.0.0",
 "webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.0",

I want to say, that webpack-cli removed yargs package from version4.0.0 but existed in version3.3.12, so if someone want to use webpack-dev-server and its hot refresh, he can revert to v3.3.12, I'm sure it will be ok, not related to versions of webpack or webpack-dev-server.But I don't know why the author removed yargs package.

@FishOrBear command is webpack serve

@evilebottnawi I've looked through a few of these issues and am a bit confused. Is using webpack serve instead of webpack-dev-server a temporary workaround or is this going to be the new way to start webpack dev server?
