Compatibility issue with webpack > 4.28.3

[lummerland]

Since the compile error generally seems to come up on webpack 4 compatibility issues I post this issue here. Hope this is right ;) I encountered the error when I run "mocha-webpack" (with mocha-webpack ^1.1.0 and webpack 4.28.4). This doesn't happen with webpack 4.28.3.

My project is fairly simple so until this is fixed for the latest webpack, my workaround is to use nodemon:

  "scripts": {
    "build": "webpack --target node --mode production",
    "test": "npm run build && mocha",
    "test:watch": "nodemon -i dist/ --exec npm test"
  },

I have the same error with Webpack 4.28.4 UPD: This fork doesn't have the problem. https://github.com/sysgears/mochapack

[SimonBrodtmann]

Same here. Mochapack doesn't look more active. 1 contributor. 1 version. 1 commit. Version 2.0.0-beta.0 fixes the problem so I guess that's the reason why mochapack works as well.

Reporting the same error as well. Trying to follow the instructions for testing a Vue project which uses Laravel mix.

Fix: npm i mocha-webpack@next
