I can confirm that this worked for me, as I was a rebel and changed the entire naming convention of my vue related project. I was nearly in tears trying to get things to work in production. Thank you very much for this. May God bless you.

Hey @perry , Thank you for this, as it clarifies some doubts. I seem to have stumbled upon this problem for the first time.
