Vue create project - Cannot find module 'vue-loader-v16/package.json'

Question

I have vue-cli installed globally via command npm install -g @vue/cli And I tried to create new project via command vue create examples-vue-2 Everything was ok until I run npm run serve. This command throws me an error Cannot find module 'vue-loader-v16/package.json'.

I am on Win 10, npm 6.7.0, node 11.15.0

Here is whole console log

Answer 1

This works for me:

npm install --save-dev vue-loader-v16 

Answer 2

Solution is in this vue-cli package issue https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/pull/5718 You may need to update npm version to install missing package.
