I have a project with Vaadin 23.0.8 that fails to start with the error message "cli.isMultipleCompiler is not a function". It seems to be a compatibility problem with webpack-cli Version 4.9.2 which needs to be upgraded to 4.10.0

webpack-cli vaadin23 node.js

On Linux/MacOS: To upgrade a node-package inside of a Vaadin project, go to your project directory. This is what you need to do to execute npm for your Vaadin project:

# Link the node executable to your project directory
ln -s ~/.vaadin/node/node node

# Do the same with npm
ln -s ~/.vaadin/node/node_modules/npm/bin/npm npm

Now you can use npm for your project, eg. to upgrade webpack to version 4.10.0:

./npm install webpack-cli@4.10.0
