[scharfark]

same for me

[functionwell]

me either

[durdenx]

There is a workaround?

[spriggsey]

To temporarily workaround try to roll back electron-webpack to version: 2.3.1

This allowed me to be able to get dev running again.

[durdenx]

Ok thanks @spriggsey! It works.

[Dudrie]

I got the same problem. Rolling back worked however.

[manferlo81]

@spriggsey solution works for me. thanks.

[cmeeren]

I get this error too in 2.4.0 (2.3.1 works).

[benjaminadk]

same problem.
Windows: 10
Node: 10.13.0
Electron: 3.0.8
Electron Webpack: 2.4.0

same solution.
rollback to 2.3.1

Having this issue on 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 as well as 2.5.0. This is possibly because of another package?

Edit: I also tried reverting back to 2.2.1 which also didn't work. I think there is a third party lib or software conflicting with this.

[Drigtime]

rolling back electron-webpack to 2.3.1 worked for me, thanks you @spriggsey 😉
