If you upgrade webpack to 5. *, and webpack cli to 4. *, an error will be reported:

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-cli/bin/config-yargs'
Temporary solution: Back off webpack cli to version 3. * for example:

"webpack-cli": "^ 3.3.12"

Solution:
NPM install webpack-cli@3 -d </code bbb>/ ol> <>ode>

Webpack-dev-server ^3 requires webpack-cli ^3 installation

// package.json file
"devDependencies": {
    "webpack": "^5.2.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.12",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.0"
}
