webpack error in Cannot find module 'less'

Question

I\'m trying to use less loader in webpack and the issues is - I\'ve installed less loader locally, but when I try to compile everything using webpack command in bask, it prints

Answer 1

It sounds like you haven't installed the less-loader into your node_modules. Installing it would fix this.

npm install less-loader --save-dev

Edit: Also you will get this error when you haven't installed the css-loader and style-loader that you are chaining less-loader to.

Anyone who comes across this can plus on the issue I submitted for the bad message. "Error in Cannot find module 'less'" when missing loaders chained after less. Revise error message.
