TypeError: Cannot read property 'transpileOptions' of undefined

Getting the below error during npm run build, with dependency on vue-cli-plugin-apollo 0.21.3. I get this failure on my Windows 10 machine, and also building it inside of the maven:3.6.3-amazoncorretto-11 docker image. But what's very puzzling is that one teammate is able to build this project successfully on his Windows 10 machine, and another teammate on his Mac. So it's inconsistent, likely with some kind of environmental issue. But since I encounter this in the maven docker image it obviously can be reproduced on linux.

Here is my stacktrace. (The ........... just represents the root path of my git project in Windows.)

> vue-cli-service build --target lib --name nui-horizon-platform ./src/index.js
