Cannot find module 'webpack' on fresh installation

See original GitHub issue

I have a fresh installation of NX for React project; I got this message when try to serve the React project from VSCode NX toolkit.

> Executing task: nx serve fe-ui-compoents <

Same problem here after a fresh installation, using angular project, solved with:

npm install --save-dev webpack

npm install --save-dev webpack-dev-server

I faced the same problem with

npx create-nx-workspace -> preset: empty
npm i --save-dev @nrwl/angular
npx nx g @nrwl/angular:application -> name: app
npx nx run app:build

Installed nx version is 13.3.1

Resulting in

Cannot find module 'webpack'

Resolved the build and serve target issue by installing webpack manually:
