[Snyk] Security upgrade webpack from 1.15.0 to 2.2.0

[saurabharch]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/package.json
• fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/yarn.lock

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades webpack from version 1.x to 2.x to resolve a security vulnerability. This is a major version upgrade and introduces breaking changes. The Webpack configuration for the webpack-prod-fixture is incompatible with Webpack 2, which will cause the build for this fixture to fail. I have added a critical review comment on the package.json file detailing the necessary changes to the Webpack configuration to make it compatible with version 2.

[gemini-code-assist]

This upgrade to Webpack v2 is a major version bump and introduces breaking changes that will cause the build for this fixture to fail.

The Webpack configuration in fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/config.js uses resolve.root, which was removed in Webpack 2. The build will fail with an error like Configuration validation failed: ... configuration.resolve has an unknown property 'root' ....

To fix this, you'll need to update config.js to use resolve.modules instead. For example:

// In fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/config.js
// ...
  resolve: {
    modules: [
      path.resolve('../../../../build/node_modules/'),
      'node_modules'
    ]
  },
// ...

Without this change, the build script for this fixture will fail, breaking the associated tests.
