Summary
We should remove support for webpack-dev-server
version 4 in @cypress/webpack-dev-server
as it is no longer maintained upstream. Continuing to support an unmaintained version increases our maintenance burden and exposes users to potential security and compatibility issues.
Details
webpack-dev-server
v4 is no longer actively maintained by the webpack team.- Users should migrate to
webpack-dev-server
v5, which is the current stable and supported version. - Removing support for v4 will allow us to simplify our codebase and focus on supporting the latest features and fixes.
Migration
- Users who still require
webpack-dev-server
v4 can continue using older versions of@cypress/webpack-dev-server
or follow our migration guide to upgrade to v5 - The migration guide for webpack-dev-server
Action:
- Remove support for
webpack-dev-server
v4 in@cypress/webpack-dev-server
