Webpack: Module build failed: Invalid CSS after "...load the styles": expected 1 selector or at-rule, was "var content = requi"

Created on 29 Jul 2018 · 4Comments · Source: vuejs-templates/webpack

Expected behavior

in the main.js I import my scss file
import './assets/scss/style.scss';
And it should compile to CSS and be used.

Actuall behavior

Compile fails with one error

Module build failed:
