Can you push update so there was support of Webpack 5?

I have forked this and made it run with webpack 5 - you can find the fork here: https://github.com/phryneas/electron-webpack

Please note that I only did this as part of a spike to evaluate different build systems, so "running" for me does not mean that I covered every possible edge case - and depending if we use it for our product, it might get any updates & maintenance or not. But it might be a good starting point for others.

@phryneas How can I install your fork via yarn/npm?

[phryneas]

@Bartel-C8 I only built it locally with yalc and didn't end up switching over to webpack 5, so you'd have to build it yourself.

Thanks, got to install it (just now) with the help of: https://gitpkg.vercel.app/

yarn add -D 'https://gitpkg.now.sh/phryneas/electron-webpack/packages/electron-webpack?master'

EDIT: the above did not work ofc, as it is not built (as a running binary).

Why did you not switch to webpack 5? Some major issues?

Ah sorry, this is the electron repo. Correct answer here is that I didn't end up electron at all, but went with tauri.
