The webpack/base.js sample continues to throw errors, is an updated version available or are these options still supposed to be valid and it’s something in my app?

Sorry for not responding sooner, can you tell me where you are in the book, which version of the code is throwing the error and what the error is?

Thanks!

I did get it working, I ended up removing webpacker and reinstalling that and also reinstalling hotwire using rails hotwire:install and that seemed to take care of it.

The sample webpack config was throwing:  
Cannot find module ‘fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin’  
and  
TypeError: merge is not a function
