Getting error message Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js) when running npm serve

Question

I'm working on a Vue/Vuetify project for quite some time now. It all worked fine until yesterday. I had problems with using the <v-simple-table> vuetify component, so I decided to run npm install and re-install vuetify: bad idea.

The problem is that I get the following error multiple times when running npm run serve:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js):
ValidationError: Invalid options object. Sass Loader has been initialised using an options object that does not match the API schema.
 - options has an unknown property 'indentedSyntax'. These properties are valid:

My main.js file:

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'
import store from './store'

import Vuetify from 'vuetify/lib'
import 'vuetify/dist/vuetify.min.css'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
import 'bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'

Vue.use(BootstrapVue)
Vue.use(Vuetify, {
  theme: {
    "primary": "#FFCA28",
    "secondary": "#1976D2",
    "accent": "#82B1FF",
    "error": "#FF5252",
    "info": "#2196F3",
    "success": "#4CAF50",
    "warning": "#FB8C00"
  }
})

Vue.config.productionTip = false

new Vue({
  router,
  store,
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

I've already looked at multiple posts and they all advise to run npm rebuild node-sass (both regularly as in admin-mode), delete the node-modules folder, re-install sass-loader, but nothing worked so far.

Is there something wrong in my main.js maybe?

Thanks in advance! Let me know if I need to post more of my code or additional information.

Edit: added package.json

So, you npm install runs through after deleting the node_modules? – Hicks

Did you update anything in the package.json? Seems like there is an incompatibility between your node modules. See here: github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/issues/4513 Updating vue-cli should probably resolve it. – Hicks

Thanks for your response. Updating vue-cli didn't help. npm install did run after deleting my node-modules, but no luck either – Seismism

Just checked out an older commit. This doesn't work anymore either... – Seismism

Tried the following: deleted node modules and package-lock.json. Updated vue cli. Ran npm i. Replaced package.json with the one from an older (working) commit. Same error – Seismism

encountering the same issue right now but where you able to solve this ? – Northeastwards

Answer 1

This could be result of upgrading sass-loader from v7.x to v8.x

As stated in release notes, they'v made significant changes to configuration

Check your vue.config.js - if you find something like this:

module.exports = {
  css: {
    loaderOptions: {
      sass: {
        ....some options here...
      }
    }
  }
}

change it to:

module.exports = {
  css: {
    loaderOptions: {
      sass: {
        sassOptions: {
          ....some options here...
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

I am not sure if it's of any use but my npm run build errors at the color codes in theme. When I comment out the color code lines it builds without error:

    Vue.use(Vuetify, {
      theme: {
        "primary": "#FFCA28",
        "secondary": "#1976D2",
        "accent": "#82B1FF",
        "error": "#FF5252",
        "info": "#2196F3",
        "success": "#4CAF50",
        "warning": "#FB8C00"
      }
    })
