6 min read

This error message usually occurs when there is a problem with the installation of the webpack module or one of its dependencies. Here are some potential solutions that you can try to fix the error:

  1. Reinstall the webpack module globally:
npm uninstall -g webpack
npm install -g webpack
  1. Install the 'RequestShortener' plugin as a dependency for your project:
npm install webpack/lib/RequestShortener --save-dev
  1. Update your webpack configuration file:
{
  resolve: {
    modules: ['node_modules'],
    alias: {},
    extensions: ['.js', '.json', '.wasm']
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
      options: {},
      RequestShortener: require.resolve('webpack/lib/RequestShortener')
    }),
    // other plugins
  ]
}

Note: the specific solution depends on the context of your project, and you may need to adjust the commands or configuration to fit your situation.
