webpack version: 3.6.0

webpack-dev-middleware 3.x.x requires webpack@4 or higher. Please read the release notes or see peerDependencies in package.json.

I am using "webpack-dev-middleware": "^3.7.2" and "webpack": "^4.41.2" but I get this exception when trying to watch with webpack. I read what peerDependencies are in package.json but I do not completely understand what I am supposed to do. I added "peerDependencies": { "webpack": "^4.41.2" } to package.json and installed again. It did not fix the issue.
What am I doing wrong?

[bernardwang]

@Zammy I am also seeing the same issue, I've updated to the latest webpack-dev-middleware and webpack but I'm still seeing this error

Did anyone ever solve this...
