This happens with the next version of Webpack (Webpack 5.0.0-rc.1)

Check this https://github.com/vuejs/vue-loader/issues/1586#issuecomment-528682809 Adding webpack as a dev dependency resolved the issue for me.

FYI, this was the only relevant search result when I also encountered the error you mentioned @hieutranminh in a Nuxt project. So in case anyone else out there is also trying to use Webpack 5 with Nuxt, it’s a matter of @nuxt/components not yet supporting webpack5, and we can move that discussion over there: https://github.com/nuxt/components/issues/105

It has to be webpack ^4.0.0 as the file was removed in v5.

Both v15 & v16 have already added support for webpack 5. So if you still encounter this issue, please open a new issue with a minimal reproduction.
