"Error: No hook for resolver normal in object ResolverFactory" error on yarn/npm build

Description

I am getting the error “Error: No hook for resolver normal in object ResolverFactory” intermittently when building a web project built with Esri JS API 4.13.2 and the ArcGIS Webpack plugin.4.13.0. The error does not occur consistently, but once I do start getting it, the only solution appears to be cloning a completely fresh copy of my project repo and building from that. I am confused as to why this error only seems to occur intermittently, and can’t offer any more details as to when or why it starts occurring.

This a full trace of the build error:

$ yarn run start
yarn run v1.16.0
$ webpack --mode=development --watch --progress

A similar issue was noted on Geonet, though there is no clear resolution that I can see on that thread: https://community.esri.com/thread/217740-error-no-hook-for-resolver-normal-in-object-resolverfactory

Expected Behavior

Project should build consistently

Actual Behavior

Project intermittently fails on yarn (or npm) build, with the error noted in the title/description.

Possible Fix

Curious whether an update to some other dependency may resolve this (webpack, webpack-cli?, perhaps an update to dojo-webpack-plugin that is a dependency for esri-webpack-plugin?).

Steps to Reproduce

I have not tried to reproduce this in a generic project, at least not yet. I can’t actually pinpoint when and why this error starts occurring. I typically get several successful builds, and then once the error occurs, I cannot seem to get around it without cloning a fresh copy of my repo

Context

Unable to consistently develop/test/build my JS Api project

Your Environment

I have been getting this as well for some time, everything seems to work so I just ignore it for now.

Did you try to remove node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm i? It sometimes happens after the update of the dependencies.
