vue webpack template missing parser

Question

I was just setting up a vue project using the webpack template like stated here: http://vuejs-templates.github.io/webpack/

However after running npm run dev just to test that the template is working, I get this error:

Failed to compile with 2 errors                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           21:49:02

What am I doing wrong?

Prettier has caused this regression in their 1.13.0 update which occurred today. Downgrade to the previous version to fix this error:

npm install --save-dev prettier@1.12.0

npm run dev

That should do the trick.
