Cannot read property 'alwaysWriteToDisk' of undefined

After upgrading webpack@5.1.2, webpack-cli@4.0.0 and html-webpack-plugin@5.0.0-alpha.3, I have the following error when building in production / development mode

TypeError: Cannot read property 'alwaysWriteToDisk' of undefined

Does the alwaysWriteToDisk is still available on html-webpack-plugin ? Is there a way to wirte assets to disk no matter the build type ?

Actually that's a problem with the html-webpack-plugin@5.0.0-alpha.3 ... I need to see if it can be fixed easily 🤔

[Thebarda]

Yeah I didn't know in which repo to this issue ^^ I can create another issue in html-webpack-plugin and close this one if it easier to you to track issues :)

[jantimon]

Can you please try html-webpack-plugin@5.0.0-alpha.5 ?

[Thebarda]

Looks good. My assets are now written to disk. Sorry for the latency 😃

Cool thanks for testing 👍
