Webpack alias resolvers via configureWebpack and chainWebpack in gridsome config don't work

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new gridsome project
2. Import path and add the lines below to the gridsome.config.js file

  configureWebpack: {
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@saucedrip': path.resolve('../literal-sauce-drip/'),
      }
    }
  }

1. Start the project with gridsome develop

Expected result

The aliases should be recognised and everything should work fine.

Actual result

Gridsome yells errors saying “These dependencies were not found… To install them, you can run: npm install…”.

NOTE: I get the same result when I try to use chainWebpack to merge the config objects or assign properties to the config.resolve.alias object directly.

Environment

Libs:
- gridsome version: 0.7.3
- @gridsome/cli version: 0.2.1

 
For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 11.12.0
- Platform:  Mac

Great! The configureWebpack option was added in v0.6 so that is probably why it didn’t work 😃

Closing this as it now works in gridsome@0.7.6. It still doesn’t work in 0.5.0. Maybe it wasn’t supported then? Also, I just noticed that I included the version of the globally installed gridsome instead of the local one in the initial issue description (my bad).
