I'm trying to set up a project using webpack. When I try to serve it using webpack I get this:
root@d690f9010746:~/chat-webapp# npm run serve
> chat-webapp@1.0.0 serve /root/chat-webapp
> webpack serve --config webpack.config.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
throw err;
^

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

The line /root/chat-webapp/node_modules/@webpack-cli/serve/index.js:4 (mentioned in the stacktrace) says: const WebpackCLI = require("../../lib/webpack-cli");. But I don't have the file /root/chat-webapp/node_modules/lib/webpack-cli - and even if I did, it's not in the @webpack-cli/serve repo, and the repo shouldn't be making assumptions about the locations of files it doesn't control.
And yet I can't find anyone or stackoverflow or anywhere else who's getting an error on the same relative path. So what am I missing? I've installed all the npm repos locally, which is a bit non-standard - could it be something to do with that?
