Electron-webpack how to change dev for webpack 5.x

I am running into a problem with the latest version of electron-webpack and webpack 5.x. Apparently, when running electron-webpack dev there is a "modules" field which is invalid and needs to be changed. How can I see and modify the configuration that electron-webpack is using?

Here is the error I am getting:

(base) uri@Mac-mini-de-oriol beat % yarn electron-webpack dev
yarn electron-webpack dev
yarn run v1.22.10
$ /Users/uri/Desktop/beat/node_modules/.bin/electron-webpack dev
ValidationError: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration.optimization has an unknown property 'namedModules'. These properties are valid:
   object { checkWasmTypes?, chunkIds?, concatenateModules?, emitOnErrors?, flagIncludedChunks?, innerGraph?, mangleExports?, mangleWasmImports?, mergeDuplicateChunks?, minimize?, minimizer?, moduleIds?, noEmitOnErrors?, nodeEnv?, portableRecords?, providedExports?, realContentHash?, removeAvailableModules?, removeEmptyChunks?, runtimeChunk?, sideEffects?, splitChunks?, usedExports? }
   -> Enables/Disables integrated optimizations.
   Did you mean optimization.moduleIds: "named" (BREAKING CHANGE since webpack 5)?

Has anyone run into this? I would extend it as a library, but I am using the cli.

I ended up not using electron-webpack at all, I'm just using webpack + typescript+webpack on their own, no fancy stuff.

The grim details are in this GitHub issue, but here's the gist:

  • As of now, electron-webpack hasn't pushed a release that is compatible with webpack 5
  • electron-webpack is looking for maintainers. Until they get more help, it's unlikely that this and other issues will be fixed.

Apparent workarounds (I haven't verified)

  • Updating electron-webpack's source to disable named modules. See this comment
  • Build electron-webpack locally and symlink. See this comment.
    • I'm not sure if you need to do that in addition to above workaround

If you're able to be the hero and dedicate a lot of time to fixing this and maintaining the project, that be great. Most can't do that, which means you have to decide between workarounds or using a more reliable package
