Could not build project with vue cli 3 template due to svg in css - vue.js

Question

While moving to vue-cli 3 I encountered following problem.
I import a plugin's css to my app.scss.
This line: background-image: url(default-skin.svg); breaks yarn build, which throws this error:
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ReferenceError: navigator is not defined
Here is my vue.config.js:
const path = require('path')
const webpack = require('webpack')
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin')
const SpriteLoaderPlugin = require('svg-sprite-loader/plugin')
const ASSETS_DIR = 'static'
module.exports = {
assetsDir: ASSETS_DIR,
runtimeCompiler: true,
chainWebpack: config => {
config
.plugin('provide-plugin')
.use(webpack.ProvidePlugin, [{
axios: "axios",
$: "jquery",
jQuery: "jquery",
_: "lodash",
mapGetters: ['vuex', 'mapGetters'],
mapActions: ['vuex', 'mapActions']
}])
.end()
.plugin('copy-plugin')
.use(CopyWebpackPlugin, [
[{
from: path.resolve(__dirname, 'static'),
to: ASSETS_DIR,
ignore: ['.*']
}]
])
.end()
.plugin('sprite-loader-plugin')
.use(SpriteLoaderPlugin)
config.module
.rule('svg')
.test(/\.svg$/)
.use('file-loader')
.loader('svg-sprite-loader')
}
}
Any solution?

App folder structure:

Answer 1

I don't have a fix or full explanation, but there is a workaround...
The problem seems to be caused by postcss-import when importing the CSS file from inside a <style> tag of an SFC:
// App.vue
<style lang="scss">
#import 'app.scss'; /* imports default.css -> default-skin.svg */
</style>
You can workaround the build error by moving the import into the <script> tag (or to main.js):
// App.vue
<script>
import 'app.scss'; /* imports default.css -> default-skin.svg */
</script>
see GitHub repo

Answer 2

Try Deleting node modules folder and then run yarn install again.
If didn't work try:
global.navigator = {
userAgent: 'node.js'
};

Answer 3

Ref vue-pswipe, GuoQichen uses this config for svg.
config.module
.rule('svg')
.use('file-loader')
.clear()
.loader('url-loader')
.options({
limit: 4 * 1024,
name: 'img/[name].[hash:8].[ext]',
})
