@bernisnukic Yup. This is causing issues for a few of us at my workplace.
Workaround: Delete your node_modules folder and then run npm install.
Edit: Just deleting node_modules/webpack-cli works.

Yeah, its kind of annoying error. It happened with me on different occasions without any reason. My fix is to remove webpack-cli folder from node-modules. Then run npm install
