Having this issue lately, but with “from” instead of “path” on an old project that always worked before. Output looks like this:

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 error                                                                                                                                                                                12:08:48 AM

I solved my case by pinning all Vue build-related dependencies. Something had an in-range breaking change somewhere.
