I am trying to run webpack serve.
It's giving SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /(\p{Uppercase_Letter}+|\p{Lowercase_Letter}|\d)(\p{Uppercase_Letter}+)/: Invalid escape
In this line https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/c90dfadbc6c5ac1ab4bda2cc106958b65fb5e6e7/lib/cli.js#L67
"webpack": "5.1.3",
"webpack-cli": "4.0.0",
"webpack-dev-server": "3.11.0"
Node 12.19.0
Am I missing something ?
I'm having the same issue just today. I solve it with updating my node version to the latest stable version
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
I was running Node 8.9.1 instead of the latest stable version, which was causing the problems.
nvm install stable
nvm use stable
I could not upgrade to the latest node because it would have forced me to upgrade my Angular sites. I used this command to fix the error:
npm install webpack@4.42.0 webpack-cli@3.3.11 webpack-dev-server@3.10.3 --save-dev
Basically it forces a version of webpack that does not have the error.
On Ubuntu I first removed node.js and reinstalled using snap, which solved it for me
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo snap remove node
sudo snap install node --classic
I am facing the same problem, I swith the node version from 8.x to 16.x and fix it using this command:
[dolphin@MiWiFi-R4CM-srv]~/Documents/GitHub/crx-selection-translate% nvm list
-> v8.17.0
v10.24.1
v16.13.0
v17.2.0

lts/gallium -> v16.13.1 (-> N/A)
[dolphin@MiWiFi-R4CM-srv]~/Documents/GitHub/crx-selection-translate% nvm use 16
Now using node v16.13.0 (npm v8.1.0)
hope it help with others. The webpakc version "webpack": "^5.67.0".
