Webpack: error on executing JavaScript and Vue.js files

Summary

After gdk update, my local GitLab Development Kit (GDK) instance is no longer working due to Webpack errors. It seems that the JavaScript and Vue.js files are not executed at all. So no Vue.js component works anymore. My local instance is thus completely useless and I am blocked in development.

This bug could be related to the MR Update to latest webpack-dev-server (gitlab!80196 - merged)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Setup/update/reconfigure GitLab Development Kit (GDK) locally: gdk install, gdk update, gdk reconfigure
  2. Start GDK: gdk start
  3. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/ image
  4. Navigate to a MR: no components are loaded image
  5. Modify JavaScript file app/assets/javascripts/pages/profiles/preferences/show/index.js
  6. Navigate to user preferences http://localhost:3000/-/profile/preferences: image image

What is the current bug behavior?

It seems that the JavaScript and Vue.js files are not executed at all. So no Vue.js component works anymore.

What is the expected correct behavior?

JavaScript and Vue.js files are loaded and executed corretly and all components work.
