webpack-dev-server doesn't work on default install

[llekn]

After a clean install running ./bin/webpack/dev-server fails because a version mismatch (rails/webpacker#1303)

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Create a new project: potassium create foo
• Go to project folder: cd foo
• Try to run webpack-dev-server: ./bin/webpack-dev-server

Using the latest potassium build from master (rake install from the repo folder), I tried to reproduce this issue choosing Vue and I couldn't, everything seems to work fine after a clean installation, and I'm able to run ./bin/webpack-dev-server.

There seems to be an issue after a clean installation choosing Angular 2, but it doesn't appear to be related to the one mentioned in that issue.

Could you try again and see if it still happens? If not we should close this and open another one for the specific issue with angular 2 (or maybe deprecate it 😬)

Hi young @rjherrera

I just re-tried this and can confirm it works OK with Angular. Too bad that it still needs some manual config as the resultant package.json ends with an incompatible version of core-js that needs to be downgraded, but it is a rails-webpacker (happens with a rails new myapp --webpack=angular too) thing so I don't think it is productive to continue with this.

I'll close this Issue as it seems resolved.

Ah, one last thing. Potassium keeps mentioning Angular 2 (from the time that everybody thought that version 2 would be years among us) but it will install last stable version of Angular.io (currently 7.2.x). Maybe is time to change the name of the option?

I like the idea, but maybe we should remove the number, as it will always be the last one. Maybe we should open a new issue with this.
