NuxtJs dev build breaking after I updated to v2.15

Question

I recently updated my an old nuxtjs project from 1.4.5 to 2.12.0 so i could take advantage of the public and private runtime config. Everything seems to work until it attempts to finish building the client bundle, i get this error

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                                                                                                           

This relative module was not found:  
                                                                                                                             
* ./blank.vue?vue&type=template&id=082ee776&lang=pug in ./src/layouts/blank.vue

this is the full error

and this is the blank.vue file

<template lang="pug">
  nuxt
</template>

here's my nuxt.config.js

import webpack from 'webpack'
import CompressionPlugin from 'compression-webpack-plugin'
import { config } from 'dotenv'

config()

const siteUrl = {
  'development': 'http://localhost:9001'

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  modules.push('@nuxtjs/webpackmonitor')

        threshold: 10240,
        minRatio: 0
      })
    ]
  }
}

is there a config i missed for the v2 migration? I followed this guide: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v2.0.0

or is there a new way to load vue templates? post nuxt v1? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

found the fix in this thread: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/4824

i simply ran yarn add -D pug-plain-loader

then extended my webpack config in nuxt.config.js

    extend (config, { isDev, isClient }) {
      // Add pug loader
      config.module.rules.push({
        test: /\.pug$/,
        loader: 'pug-plain-loader'
      })
    },
