Description

@AtofStryker

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We should remove support for webpack-dev-server version 4 in @cypress/webpack-dev-server as it is no longer maintained upstream.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  • webpack-dev-server v4 is no longer actively maintained by the webpack team.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.
  • Update documentation and migration guides accordingly.

Impact:

  • This is a breaking change and should be included in the next major release.
