How to fix error when running webpack serve?

Question

webpack

When I try to start devServer, it gives an error, Google did not help. Thank you.

Mistake

yarn run v1.22.11
$ webpack serve

object { allowedHosts?, bonjour?, client?, compress?, devMiddleware?, headers?, historyApiFallback?, host?, hot?, http2?, https?, ipc?, liveReload?, magicHtml?, onAfterSetupMiddleware?, onBeforeSetupMiddleware?, onListening?, open?, port?, proxy?, setupExitSignals?, static?, watchFiles?, webSocketServer? }

my webpack.gonfig

const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const { CleanWebpackPlugin } = require('clean-webpack-plugin');

You are using a configuration for a different version of webpack. Open the documentation for your version and adjust the dev server configuration (or install the correct version).
