Repro steps.

1. Update dependencies of existing project from Angular 4/CLI 1.4 to Angular 5/CLI 1.5
2. run ng serve.

Also tried deleting node_modules/reinstalling but same error.

Desired functionality.

CLI starts build without error.

I had it when used ngc-webpack plugin. Also reinstall packages might help

same problem

Addendum: After installing Webpack manually, the project builds fine.

It seems as though you had a bad npm install. You should not have to install webpack manually. Glad all is working for you.

I removed node_modules and reinstalled again and am still having this issue. I had said in my first post that I had removed/reinstalled modules and it didn't work.

[spongessuck]

Deleted my package-lock.json file and removed/reinstalled node_modules and it worked. Not sure where the incompatibility was.

delete the package-lock.json did it! Thx
