[BUG] CRA5.0.0 [DEP_WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_HTTPS] DeprecationWarning on start with .env file configured for HTTPS

[jafin]

Describe the bug

Upgrading Project to CRA 5, with a .env.development.local file configured with HTTPS settings, gives warning:

(node:48148) [DEP_WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_HTTPS] DeprecationWarning: 'https' option is deprecated. Please use the 'server' option.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes

(paste the output of the command here.)

Steps to reproduce

1. Create .env.development.local file with contents similar to :

HTTPS=true 
SSL_CRT_FILE=file.crt
SSL_KEY_FILE=file.key

execute:

npm start run

Verify warning on startup:

(node:48148) [DEP_WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_HTTPS] DeprecationWarning: 'https' option is deprecated. Please use the 'server' option.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

Expected behavior

No warning should occur.

Actual behavior

A warning is issued on startup, app still funcitons.

(node:48148) [DEP_WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_HTTPS] DeprecationWarning: 'https' option is deprecated. Please use the 'server' option.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

Further info

If I execute via CRACO and log the output of the webpack config I see:

https: {
  cert: /* cert */,
  key: /* key */,
},

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/20edab4894b301f6b90dad0f90a2f82c52a7ac66/packages/react-scripts/config/webpackDevServer.config.js#L102

whereas I believe this is expected:

server: {
  type: 'https',
  options: {
    cert: /* cert */,
    key: /* key */,
  },  
}

As per the webpack 5 docs: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverserver

If I configure craco with a config which maps the properties in the expected shape, the warning disappears (from npm start run):

 devServer: (devServerConfig, { env, paths, proxy, allowedHost }) => {
        devServerConfig.server = {
            type: 'https',
            options: {
                key: devServerConfig.https.key,
                cert: devServerConfig.https.cert
                }
            };
        devServerConfig.https = undefined;
    return devServerConfig;
    },

Confirmed changes in: WDS changelog https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#440-2021-10-27 - we should move https config into "server" options and align schemas
