Here is the error :
webpack-hot-client: entry Object values must be an Array or Function. Please check your webpack config.

Here is my package.json :

I tried a lot of things and i fixed a lot of issues but for me the entry is an Array, so i don’t know why i got this error.

          console.info(chalk.green(`n==> 🌎  Listening at ${url}`))

      } else {
        console.error(chalk.red('n==> Error : No PORT environment variable has been specified'))
      }
    }
  )

UPDATE :
I put some console.log in the compiler file :

      for (const key of Object.keys(entry)) {
        const value = entry[key];
        console.log(entry)
        console.log(value)
        console.log(Array.isArray(Object.values(value)))
        if (!Array.isArray(value)) {
          throw new TypeError(
            'webpack-hot-client: `entry` Object values must be an Array or Function. Please check your webpack config.'
          );

Console.log return this :

  main: { import: [ 'webpack-hot-middleware/client', './src/index.js' ] }
}
{ import: [ 'webpack-hot-middleware/client', './src/index.js' ] }
true

So i think that there is a problem with the declaration of variable, because we have to do an Object.values() to get the array.
So idk what can i do to resolve the problem, i will not change the dependencies files…
Thx for your time and your response!

    I found the error. WebPack Hot Client is not update for the last version of webpack (5.x). If you use Webpack Hot Client, you have to use version 4 of Webpack.

  2. It might not be the right example to your situation, but they made some internal changes to the webpack structure:

    entry: {} allows an empty object now (to allow to use plugins to add entries)
    

    here’s one of the newer examples I found:

    module.exports = {
      entry: {
        about: { import: './about.js', filename: 'pages/[name][ext]' },
      },
    };
