The error message we’re encountering, “Module build failed: TypeError: this.getResolve is not a function at Object.loader”, typically occurs when there’s a mismatch between versions of node-sass
, sass-loader
, and webpack
.
To fix this, we can try:
- Ensure Compatibility:
Make sure we are using compatible versions of node-sass
, sass-loader
, and webpack
. Sometimes, updating one package without updating the others can lead to compatibility issues.
- Update Dependencies:
Update our project’s dependencies to their latest compatible versions. We can do this by running:
npm update
- Specific Versions: If we’re experiencing issues with the latest versions, we can try installing specific versions known to work together.
For example we run
npm install sass-loader@^10.1.1 node-sass@^5.0.0
- Clean Node Modules: Sometimes, conflicts arise due to corrupted or conflicting dependencies.
Try removing our node_modules
folder and reinstalling dependencies:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
-
Check webpack Configuration: Ensure that our webpack configuration is correctly set up to handle Sass files. Verify that
sass-loader
is configured properly in our webpack configuration file (usuallywebpack.config.js
orvue.config.js
if we’re using Vue CLI). -
Fallback to Dart Sass: If we are using
node-sass
, consider switching todart-sass
asnode-sass
is deprecated.
Update our package.json
to use sass
instead of node-sass
:
"sass": "^1.49.0",
And update our webpack or Vue configuration to use sass-loader
with implementation
option set to sass
.
After trying these steps, rebuild your project to see if the error persists.
If it does, double-check your webpack configuration, and consider looking for any specific error messages that might provide more clues about the root cause of the issue.
