Answer 1

Deleting webpack and installing previous version worked for me!

npm uninstall webpack
npm install webpack@^4.0.0 --save-dev

Answer 2

I encountered exactly this error today, and my solution to fix this was to revert changes in my package-lock.json.

Then a npm prune to remove unuseful packages and npm update to be up-to-date.
