How to use ssr supported packages in vue with vue-server-renderer? - vue.js

Question

I tried to use vue2-google-maps and it worked well.
Suddenly my computer had stopped working and then I restarted my computer.
Then, strangely, 500-error comes out.
I reverted all codes associated with vue2-google-maps then my project works well.
Even though when I import vue2-google-maps then It occurs 500-error. :(
App.js
import * as VueGoogleMaps from 'vue2-google-maps';
It was working well but now cause of the unknown reason it has been broken...
Here is my console shows error.

Is it possible that project that worked well could cause 500-error for no reason?
Environment: Ubuntu 18.04, npm v6.9.0, node v12.6.0

I have found how to handle ssr.
App.js
if (process.browser) {
const VueGoogleMaps = require('vue2-google-maps');
Vue.use(VueGoogleMaps, {
load: {
key: 'myKey',
libraries: 'places',
},
});
}
Instead of using import, I used require when it is client rendering.
I will be happy if it helped you. :D
