[webpack-cli] error: unknown option ‘–hide-modules’

When encountering the error “unknown option ‘–hide-modules'” in webpack-cli, it means that you have specified an unrecognized option while running the webpack command. The ‘–hide-modules’ option is not a valid option in webpack by default.

To resolve this error, you can either remove the ‘–hide-modules’ option from your command or update your webpack configuration to handle this option correctly.

Example 1:

If you are running a command like this:

webpack --hide-modules

You should remove the ‘–hide-modules’ from the command:

webpack

Example 2:

If you have specified the ‘–hide-modules’ option in your webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js), you can remove it from the configuration:

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  // Your webpack configuration options here
  // ...
  devServer: {
    // ...
    stats: {
      // Remove or comment out the 'modules' option
      // modules: false
    }
  }
}
