While using npm link webpack worked locally, on my CI (GitHub actions) I had the same problem, and to resolve it I used:

 npm i --save-dev webpack

This error mostly occurs because of old dependencies, if at all are not upgraded then it can be deleted manually by deleting the node_modules Folder and also the package-lock.json file

after that you can clean the Cache (if at all necessary) and then

npm cache clean --force
npm install

I fixed this issue with:

delete package-lock.json
delete node_modules
delete dist (if exist)

npm cache clean --force

npm install

Try to see if this works...

npm uninstall --save webpack
npm install --save-dev webpack

I had the same issue and this worked for me:

  1. Delete these files/ folders (from your Angular root folder):

    • package-lock.json (Not the package.json)
    • /node_modules folder
    • /dist folder

  2. Execute command (regenerate the package-lock.json and the /node_modules):

    • $npm install

Everything should work now, it was the package-lock.json that caused npm to download old versions of dependencies.
