ERROR: Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs' Require stack:

I have been trying to run the following code since 1 week now. I have re-written the same code around 4-5 times in case if I missed something. Tried looking for solutions as well but I am unable to detect what exactly the error is?

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs' Require stack:

  • C:\Users\NFC\Desktop\reactapp\node_modules\webpack-dev-server\bin\webpack-dev-server.js

webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');

const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
entry: './main.js',
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, '/bundle'),
filename: 'index_bundle.js'
},


 devServer: {
   
   inline: true,
  
   port: 8001
},

module: {
  rules: [
     {
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query: {
           presets: ['es2015', 'react']
        }
     }
  ]
 },

  new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
     template: './index.html'
  })

Seems you're using webpack-cli v4, try to update your start script from webpack-dev-server --mode development --open --hot to webpack serve. You can check this issue https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/issues/2424 on webpack-dev-server for more.
