@evilebottnawi i haven't any, it's the default vue-cli project !

@evilebottnawi > I found the bug; it's because of the pwd of my project: "c:\dev\test-broken"
It doesn't work on windows when parent dir is named DEV xD
I moved it elsewhere and now it works flawlessly, in another folder....

[alexander-akait]
