ProgressPlugin TypeError: Cannot read property 'tap' of undefined

Question

I'm getting an error during compilation. It seems to not be happy with the ProgressPlugin in webpack:

/node_modules/webpack/lib/ProgressPlugin.js:205
    compilation.hooks.addEntry.tap("ProgressPlugin", entryAdd);

TypeError: Cannot read property 'tap' of undefined

I know there have been some recent changes with plugins for webpack 4. It seems addEntry, failedEntry, succeedEntry are not in the documentation for compilation hooks - https://webpack.js.org/api/compilation-hooks/ - am I missing something?

My package.json deps:

"array-move": "^1.0.0",
"aws-sdk": "^2.352.0",

Answer 1

You have 2 different version of webpack, the one you installed causing it to break.

Don't install webpack your self ( remove it from package.json ), its already installed with next.js

Answer 2

In my case the error was that I put a plugin under resolve.plugins, instead of directly in plugins inside the webpack config. Solution from: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/8548#issuecomment-449829774
