Work-in-Progress

TODOs

  • Fix vuepress integration
  • Document the breaking changes
  • Fix the few remaining failing tests
    • UI: Needs to fix DashboardPlugin
    • PWA plugin: Needs to use workbox v6 for webpack 5 support
    • Mocha plugin: Works after bailing out to webpack 4
  • Webpack 4 support:
    • It's currently possible with yarn resolutions
    • Can be tested with Jest aliases
    • NPM users can use module-alias to redirect all requests to the webpack package

Later

  • Mocha: Needs to fix Vue 3 setup (could be in another PR, as it has been failing for a while and depends on a vue-loader patch)
  • Mochapack's webpack 5 support is still work-in-progress Add support for webpack v5 sysgears/mochapack#83
  • style-related loaders need to be updated for better support of webpack 5 (there's basic support in the currently used versions, though)
  • webpack-dev-server 4 is in early beta, it provides better compatibility with webpack 5. But the current version is still usable, so no hurry in updating it.
  • Global serve/build: Tests are ignored for now, these features will be removed in another PR
  • Preload plugin: Should support html-webpack-plugin v4. Not high-priority, but should be easy

webpack 4 compat is too cumbersome and let's forget about that for now
This avoids incorrect hoisting caused by vuepress sharing the vue-loader
dependency, which falsely injects webpack v4 into the dependencies of
vue-loader v15.

Also added a hot fix for vue-cli-plugin-apollo
workbox-webpack-plugin upgraded from v4 to v6 alpha. Need further
testing to make sure it works correctly. But for now, at least the
existing tests have passed
In webpack 5, compilation.asset is a SizeOnlySource, so we have to
read the source directly from the fs
It's a little bit tricky to update this plugin. So we'll reconsider it
later.
note: dev server hmr is not working correctly
