Can't alias vue for compiler included build

Vue doesn’t seem to alias correctly so I can use the compiler included build.

To repro I have used an external library vuejs-datepicker which must have template: code and is throwing the following

I have tried a bunch of variations in the alias config field, including those mentioned here on the vue js docs.

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/installation.html#Explanation-of-Different-Builds

if i alias the field with something like ‘vue-alias’ then import vue from 'vue-alias' I get pass the error but I am in even more pain as other libraries that use vue don’t know where to look

Updated externals configuration to whitelist specific modules, in this case vue. To anybody coming to this later, here’s a fix…

webpack.renderer.config.js

/* ... */
externals: Object.keys(pkg.dependencies || {}).filter(d => !['vue'].includes(d)),
/* ... */
alias: {
  'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js',
  'components': path.join(__dirname, 'app/src/renderer/components'),
  'renderer': path.join(__dirname, 'app/src/renderer')
}
/* ... */

This fix has been applied in the dev branch. See #171 for more details.

Today I also encountered the same problem checkout this setting (webpack.renderer.config.js) Only need to comment out this line

  externals: Object.keys(pkg.dependencies || {}),

change alieas config as

    alias: {
      'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js',
      'components': path.join(__dirname, 'app/src/renderer/components'),
      'renderer': path.join(__dirname, 'app/src/renderer')
    }

rerun

npm run dev
