ForkTSCheckerWebpackPlugin given wrong API schema

[Huespal]

Hello :)

What is the current behaviour?
Build is not completed due to a validation error.

Steps to Reproduce
Run preact build from a terminal on a Preact project.

What is the expected behaviour?
Build is completed without errors.

Please mention any other relevant information
The error is this:

✖ ERROR ValidationError: Invalid configuration object. ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration has an unknown property 'silent'. These properties are valid:
   object { async?, typescript?, eslint?, formatter?, issue?, logger? }

And continues with the error trace.

Project is using webpack 4, and Typescript 4.2.4.

It was not happening a week before. Nothing from the code has changed.

So the error has come with preact-cli v3.2.0. With v3.1.0 is working as expected.

Yeah it's an issue from #1465. I'll try to get that corrected tomorrow morning. I guess we don't have TS tests so this slipped through. Sorry about that.

[rschristian]

I didn't forget about this, but after fixing the config the plugin completely locks up the build process. Not really sure what's going on there or if it's an upstream issue.

Maybe a revert would be easier? Until it's resolved, as 3.2 version because of this is completely broken for me

[rschristian]

We did revert in #1567.

You should be able to use your preact.config.js to remove the plugin I believe if you can't wait.

Closing as the fix has been merged
