how to use "npx webpack-cli init"

Question

mkdir demo & cd demo
npm init -y
npm i --save-dev webpack webpack-cli
npm i webpack-cli @webpack-cli/init
npx webpack-cli init

but when run

npx webpack-cli init

i get the error

init isn't a valid name.

It should be prefixed with 'webpack-scaffold', but have different suffix.

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Try to use @webpack-cli/[email protected].
There are some problems with 0.3 https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/issues/1127
Also in webpack-cli@beta (v4), they renamed init to create.

Answer 2

use npx webpack-cli create instead npx webpack-cli init
