Typescript typings incompatible with webpack 5.

[wegry]

• Manifest Plugin Version: 4.0.2
• Webpack Version: 5.64.1
• Operating System (or Browser): macOS
• Node Version: 16.13.0
• Link to reproduction (⚠️ read below):

https://github.com/wegry/webpack-5typescript-types-breaking-webpack-manifest-plugin/tree/main

Expected Behavior

webpack-manifest-plugin should compile with tsc with webpack@5.

Actual Behavior

webpack-manifest-plugin seems to be using webpack 4 typings instead.

Additional Information

Originally I ran into this issue in yarn 3 with nodeLinker: node-modules. The repro repo is yarn 1 though.

Yeah I doubt we'll be able to resolve that until we drop Webpack v4 support.

I'm experiencing the same issue. So, is there any plan?

@SunHuawei did you read my last reply?

[SunHuawei]

@shellscape , yes, I did. I mean is there a plan to drop v4 support? I know that's not easy for the existing user, however, due to that it's a breaking change, is that possible to just upgrade to v5 for this plugin to support webpack@5. That would be perfect for both v4 and v5 users.

[shellscape]

I don't currently have the motivation to make that change.

[SunHuawei]

I don't get it, do you mean you don't see any value in it? Or, you're too busy? Honestly, I love this project, and I need it very much. If you can help review and merge, I can spend some time doing that upgrade. What do you think?
