Thanks for opening an issue, and sorry for the delayed response! It looks like a breaking change was made on a minor version in webpack (webpack/webpack#8082) which caused the quick start templates to fail. You can either:

• Re-create your project using the "new project" wizard -- we've updated the starter templates.
• Update the version manually in an existing project:
  1. Edit your package.json. Replace the line containing "webpack-cli": with "webpack-cli": "^3.1.2",
  2. Either delete the node_modules folder in your project, or run npm install
  3. Restart the CDK if it's open.

Please let us know if you run into any more problems 🙂
