Latest NestJS CLI generated project cannot build due to webpack & Tapable type errors

[sannajammeh]

Bug Report

Something has broken while preparing for production deployment. Due to other reasons, I had to delete my yarn lock file and I started getting error messages. It builds just fine in development, however, it displays over 90 errors of missing @types packages from @types/webpack and @types/tapable. This breaks the production build. I've tried reinstalling packages with npm and yarn, deleting node_modules, lock files, and also removing the yarn cache, all to no avail. I thought there was something wrong with my project so I created a new test project with the NestJS CLI and the latest version, still the same issue.

Current behavior

Below is the complete error message I receive in my console when running npm run build:

Input Code

Reproduce:
install the latest nestjs cli and creat a new project, CD into the folder and run npm install && npm run build

Expected behavior

Should build fine without any type errors due to missing dependencies.

Possible Solution

Environment

Nest version: latest
 
For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 15.5.0 
- Platform:  Windows

Others:
Both npm and yarn faces this problem.

@types/tapable was updated today and breaks @types/webpack which is a dependency of @nestjs/cli. There's not much Nest can do about this, as the @types/webpack uses the most recent version of @types/tapable.

[ghost]

same issue..

[jmcdo29]

Again, there's nothing nest can really do about this. The @types/webpack repository needs to be informed of the issue and have their version pinned rather than using the most recent. Then we can pin our @types/webpack version and fix the issue

[Gwash3189]

Hi! Thanks for the clarification @jmcdo29. Your comment took me to the @types repository, and this PR specifically. It looks like it could be related.

After running npm install in a new nestjs project and looking at the package-lock.json, It looks like it could be that nestjs installs "@types/webpack": "4.41.26" but uses "webpack": "5.11.0".

Running npm install --save-dev @types/webpack to get the latest webpack types fixes the majority of the type issues.

The remaining errors come from the @types/webpack and @types/tapable directly. The errors are:

> nest build

node_modules/@types/tapable/index.d.ts:7:15 - error TS2307: Cannot find module './node_modules/tapable' or its corresponding type declarations.

29 import webpack = require('./node_modules/webpack');
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Found 2 error(s).

I'm a little unfamiliar with @types and how the webpack and tapable libraries seem to be re-exporting their own webpack and tapable dependencies, rather than the ones resolved by node.

[MichaelMarner]

It looks like new types that are included with both webpack and tapable are clashing with the versions provided by DefinitelyTyped.

npm uninstall --save @types/webpack @types/tapable

Seems to fix the issue for me. So maybe just need to update the package.json template to not include them?

Simply uninstalling those packages did not help for me. I ran into this problem today while setting up the typescript-starter project and trying out for the first time with NestJS (terrible timing, for a minute I thought NestJS was awful and I'd made a horrible mistake haha..eventually figured out its an upstream issue and totally not NestJS fault).

In any case, for me I managed to work around this issue by doing the following in the https://github.com/nestjs/typescript-starter project:

yarn add tapable@1.1.3
yarn add -D @types/webpack # (which installed v5.0.0 of @types/webpack)

I'm now at least able to start Nest and start playing around with it, but beware anyone that uses this workaround; given I literally took my first look at NestJS today, this was brute-force solved via trial and error, and I might've missed something important.

It works for me.

[mersanuzun]

It worked with these versions for me

npm i @types/webpack@4.41.27
npm i tapable@1.1.3
