I am trying to setup vue-styleguidist on a vue 2 project but styleguide fails because webpack does not match API schema

Question

Setup vuepress for my vue project no problem and wanted to you vue-styleguidist to auto document everything. Installed it and its dependencies within /docs/ with vuepress but I don't understand the webpack validation error below.

command

npm run styleguide

results in the below error and I can't seem to figure it out.
