module-federation-interop does not run

The webpack-mf project inside module-federation-interop on the main branch does not run.

Here is the error:

PS C:\...\rspack-examples\rspack\module-federation-interop\webpack-mf> pnpm dev

Looks like you need to update webpack-cli to a more recent version (see webpack/webpack-cli#2894 (comment)).

This did the trick in webpack-mf/package.json :

-    "webpack-cli": "4.10.0"
+    "webpack-cli": "5.1.4"

Also don't forget set the mode in webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
+  mode: isProduction ? "production" : "development",
  entry: "./src/index.js",
