Every vue component returning Cannot read property 'parseComponent' of undefined

Question

So i've tried researching this but none of the solutions are working. I think it's specifically an issue with some of my vue dependencies, potentially vue-loader, but I'm not sure what specifically to do to fix it. I have tried:

• deleting node_modules and re-running npm install
• npm update
• i've tried removing vue-loader completely
• tried adding, removing, and updating @vue/component-compiler-utils
• tried changing the version of the above to three different things
• tried running composer install and composer update
• creating a new temp staging branch from master just in case it was some weird git error and building from that

What am I missing here? Every vue component on my staging site returns this same error. The weirdest thing is that the staging server is a direct clone of our production server, where all of this works completely smoothly and i get zero errors.

The Errors:

ERROR in ./resources/assets/js/components/component.vue
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/vue-loader/lib/index.js):
TypeError: Cannot read property 'parseComponent' of undefined
    at parse (/var/www/site/node_modules/@vue/component-compiler-utils/dist/parse.js:14:23)

 @ ./resources/assets/js/app.js 60:29-81
 @ multi ./resources/assets/js/app.js ./resources/assets/sass/app.scss

I've tried installing these warnings' dependencies as well but still get the same error above, I'm including these because it's what pops up when i run my bash script and run npm install from my staging branch:

npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of eslint@^5.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with a specific version of a dependency? But nothing i've been trying from other stack overflow threads or google searches has been helping

Let me know if there's any code missing that may help

Answer 1

I had exacly the same problem and just figured it out, I hope this helps someone. First I changed the vue template compiler to:

"vue-template-compiler": "2.6.11"

and the I also had to change the vue version to the latest realese, in my case:

"vue": "2.6.11"

Answer 2

Try running this command

npm update vue-template-compiler

Answer 3

Try this:

npm remove vue-template-compiler

npm remove vue

then

npm install [email protected]

npm install [email protected]

This will match the version of vue and vue-template compiler on your project.

Answer 4

The version of "vue-template-compiler" should match the version of "vue". If the dependency is declared as:

"vue": "^2.6.11"

Npm will possibly install [email protected], which is mismatched with the version of "vue-template-compiler". As of what updates between 2.6.11 and 2.6.12, you can refer to the release notes.
