webpack.config.js - Cannot read property 'emit' of undefined

Hi - I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I could use some help.

I'm developing a project using Cordova/Ionic 3, and I'm trying to add the javascript-obfuscator plugin following [this guide](https://medium.com/front-end-weekly/ionic-and-other-hybrid-apps-code-protection-4561d2a2a605).

I've installed the javascript-obfuscator package via NPM, I've got a `config` folder with a copy of `webpack.config.js` that's being recognised by my project and used. I've added my plugin:

```
var JavaScriptObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

```

And in the `plugins` section:

```
plugins: [
new Dotenv({
path: '.env.dev', // load this now instead of the ones in '.env'
systemvars: true, // load all the predefined 'process.env' variables which will trump anything local per dotenv specs.
silent: true // hide any errors
}),
ionicWebpackFactory.getIonicEnvironmentPlugin(),
ionicWebpackFactory.getCommonChunksPlugin(),
new JavaScriptObfuscator({
stringArrayEncoding: 'base64'
})
],
```

But when I run the `ionic cordova run android` command, I get the following output:

```

```

Any ideas why this is happening, or what the error means?

Thanks,

Empieza reproduciendo el fallo con la configuración mostrada de config/webpack.config.js mediante `ionic cordova build android`. Lee `node_modules/webpack-obfuscator/dist/index.js` en la línea 22 y el stack de Webpack circundante, incluido ionic-app-scripts 3.2.4. Se considera terminado cuando se haya identificado el detalle de integración incompatible o ausente y el build haya superado el error de `emit`.
