babel.config.js: Error while loading config - Cannot find module 'fibers' - node.js

Question

This is driving me nuts.
IDE: Visual Studion 2019
Project: Created a new "Basic Vue.js project" - I chose the *.ts flavour
I validate the new site runs. It does.
Following the quick start on Vuetify : https://vuetifyjs.com/en/getting-started/quick-start/#bootstrapping-the-vuetify-object
After each step I validate the site will still compile and run.
I reach the section where we add new modules to our project. I run this line:
npm install sass sass-loader fibers deepmerge -D
And now the site will not run. When I debug I get this output:
------ Build started: Project: MCCC.Web, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
> mccc.web#0.1.0 build C:\Labs\MCCC\Web\MCCC-Web\MCCC.Web

The line that sticks out the most to me is:
C:\Labs\MCCC\Web\MCCC-Web\MCCC.Web\babel.config.js: Error while loading config - Cannot find module 'fibers'
fibres is references in the babel.config.json where I added the rules laid out in quick start:
module.exports = {
presets: [
'#vue/app',
'#babel/preset-env'
],
rules: [
{
test: /\.s(c|a)ss$/,
use: [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
// Requires sass-loader#^7.0.0
options: {
implementation: require('sass'),
fiber: require('fibers'),
indentedSyntax: true // optional
},
// Requires sass-loader#^8.0.0
options: {
implementation: require('sass'),
sassOptions: {
fiber: require('fibers'),
indentedSyntax: true // optional
},
},
},
],
},
]
};
Does anybody know how i can resolve this? Happy to share further info; not sure what else you may need.

Are you using the latest version of the docs? I followed the link you provided and the anchor #bootstrapping-the-vuetify-object doesn't appear to exist anymore. I was able to get a basic project up and running successfully following these steps:
vue create myapp: Selected "custom" and ticked all the boxes, for TypeScript, chose the default "class-style components"
verified that npm run serve worked
vue add vuetify: Selected "Configure", and these options:
Y (default)
y
y
Material Design Icons (default)
N (default)
Y (default)
English (default)
npm run serve would run, but I got warnings about type declaration for vuetify/lib. This answer led me to this FAQ item which made the warnings go away. (You have to add "vuetify" to the compilerOptions.types array in the root tsconfig.json for the project.)
FWIW, fibers does not appear to be included in the project at all anymore (searched for "fibers" in package-lock.json). My babel.config.js file looks like:
module.exports = {
presets: [
'#vue/cli-plugin-babel/preset'
]
}
And vue.config.js looks like:
module.exports = {
transpileDependencies: [
'vuetify'
]
}
Hope this helps!
