warning wrench@1.5.9: wrench.js is deprecated! You should check out fs-extra (https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra) for any operations you were using wrench for. Thanks for all the usage over the years.

All of those should be fixed up so that the build is less likely to break suddenly if some dependency disappears.

Reproduction Steps

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/che
cd che/dashboard
npm install yarn
./node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn install --frozen-lockfile --no-lockfile --pure-lockfile --ignore-optional --non-interactive --production=false

@evidolob @ashumilova can you help here?

Considering for the next sprint

[olexii4]

I worked on removing gulp tasks(because a lot of errors depends on it) and upgrading the webpack to v.4.

It was postponed as not a priority task in IDE2 – SPRINT 165.
It is still postponed as not a priority task.

[ppitonak]

How do you want to replace the functionality of removed gulp tasks? Own implementation in gulp script or something different?

[olexii4]

@ppitonak I am going to use custom webpack plugins. It will be the next step when I completely finish with the webpack-dev-server configuration for che-dashboard
