[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/dev/package.json
• fixtures/packaging/webpack/dev/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 from Snyk aims to resolve a security vulnerability by upgrading webpack from version ^1.14.0 to ^2.2.0. While this is a necessary security fix, the upgrade to a new major version of webpack introduces breaking changes that are not addressed in this PR. The current webpack configuration (fixtures/packaging/webpack/dev/config.js) will fail with webpack v2, breaking the build for this fixture. Furthermore, another fixture (fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/package.json) also contains the vulnerable webpack dependency and has not been updated. To ensure the project remains functional and fully secure, both the webpack configuration and the missed dependency update need to be addressed.

[gemini-code-assist]

Upgrading webpack to version 2.x is a breaking change. The associated configuration file, fixtures/packaging/webpack/dev/config.js, uses the resolve.root property, which is no longer supported in webpack v2 and will cause the build to fail. This property should be migrated to resolve.modules.

Example update for fixtures/packaging/webpack/dev/config.js:

  resolve: {
    modules: [
      path.resolve('../../../../build/node_modules/')
    ]
  }

Additionally, the prod fixture at fixtures/packaging/webpack/prod/package.json also uses the vulnerable version of webpack and should be updated as well to fully mitigate the security risk.
