不用这个插件是可以打包的，用了就报错。

webpack.config.js代码如下：

var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    mode: "development",
    entry: "./index.js",
    plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin()],
    output:{
        filename: "index.js"
    }
}

package.json代码如下：

{
  "name": "test-webpack",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "bundle": "webpack"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "html-webpack-plugin": "^5.3.1",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.12"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "webpack": "^4.46.0"
  },
  "description": ""
}
