Can update webpack-chain to 5.x ?I need some new feature

[mkanako]

What problem does this feature solve?

use the new feature of webpack-chain 5.x

What does the proposed API look like?

same as before

We can't right now as it's a major version with breaking changes.

You could however use the resolutions field in package.json (requires yarn) to overwrite the dependency for vue-cli-service and see if it works for your usecase.

Out of interest: what's the feature you need?

[mkanako]

Thank you,but unfortunately I use npm.
Now I avoid use the new feature of webpack-chain 5.x in other ways.

v5.1.0
Allow use of before() and after() with oneOf rules #133

I need this

I can confirm that upgrading to the current version of webpack-chain doesn't break the current cli-service. However it could be that projects in the community use specific 4.x functionality that breaks by upgrading this dep. But is that a blocker?

[AlbertBrand]

This seems to be the only breaking change: neutrinojs/webpack-chain#84

[LinusBorg]

Yes it is. We expose webpack-chain's aPI as part of our public API. And as updating webpack-chain could break configs that users of Vue CLI have implemented, it's a breaking change.

[AlbertBrand]

OK, so to follow that train of thought, you could update the dependency but cli-service would then need to be bumped major as well, right?

[LinusBorg]

Right
