I'm following the basic tutorial of webpack from this link : https://webpack.js.org/guides/getting-started/
when I run npx webpack it fails with the following error:
ERROR in main.js from Terser TypeError: Cannot read property 'minify' of undefined at minify (/Users/name/Documents/practice/webpack/webpack-demo/node_modules/terser-webpack-plugin/dist/minify.js:175:23) at module.exports (/Users/name/Documents/practice/webpack/webpack-demo/node_modules/terser-webpack-plugin/dist/worker.js:13:40) at handle (/Users/name/Documents/practice/webpack/webpack-demo/node_modules/worker-farm/lib/child/index.js:44:8) at process.<anonymous> (/Users/name/Documents/practice/webpack/webpack-demo/node_modules/worker-farm/lib/child/index.js:51:3) at process.emit (events.js:188:13) at emit (internal/child_process.js:828:12) at process.internalTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:72:19) - node version: v11.6.0
