Vue: pug language has not been recognized in .vue template

From the Vue documentation:

Processing templates is a little different, because most webpack template loaders such as pug-loader return a template function instead of a compiled HTML string. Instead of using pug-loader, we can just install the original pug.

TestComponent.vue:

<template lang="pug">
  div
    h2 {{ message }}
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data () {
      return {
        message: 'Done!!! Done...'
      }
    }
  }
</script>

main.js:

import Vue from 'vue'
import TestComponent from './../components/TestComponent/TestComponent.vue'

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  render: h => h(TestComponent)
});

Error:

NonErrorEmittedError: (Emitted value instead of an instance of Error) 
  Error compiling template:

  div
    h2 {{ message }}

  - Component template requires a root element, rather than just text.

You need to set up Webpack to use the Pug language loader, otherwise your template is being parsed as HTML, and your template indeed as HTML doesn't have a root tag (a single html element that surrounds all other elements).

You need to set this up: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pug-loader

According to a comment you might also need: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pug-plain-loader
