(node:54335) [DEP_WEBPACK_COMPILATION_ASSETS] DeprecationWarning: Compilation.assets will be frozen in future, all modifications are deprecated.  
BREAKING CHANGE: No more changes should happen to Compilation.assets after sealing the Compilation.                                               
        Do changes to assets earlier, e. g. in Compilation.hooks.processAssets.                                                                   
        Make sure to select an appropriate stage from Compilation.PROCESS_ASSETS_STAGE_*.
