Context
When there are different versions of Webpack used in a repo (for example, one is added to the repo and the other one is coming from a node module) Webpack loses its reference to the
Compiler
object. The plugins no longer need torequire('webpack')
in Webpack 5. It's recommended to usecompiler.webpack
where possible.Related comments of the Webpack authors/contributors in a similar issue: webpack/webpack#12606 (comment), webpack/webpack#12606 (comment)
Additional
I had to use
ts-ignore
because the branch useswebpack@4
types.Related to #1781
