Description of the problem

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I am trying to set up a simple testing environment in codesandbox using vue and vue test utils. I can run a simple test like expect(1+1).toBe(2) but when I try to import my vue components and test them I get an error in the test tabs output:

Could not find dependency: 'vue-template-compiler' relative to '/node_modules/@vue/test-utils/dist/vue-test-utils.js'

Checking the package.json I can indeed see that the vue-template-compiler is listed as a dependency (and the component does get compiled and shown in the browser view) so I don't really know what's going on...

To Reproduce

Run the sandbox!

Research direction

Start with the linked sandbox and src/tests/template-compiler-error.spec.js, then reproduce the test-tab error involving vue-template-compiler and @vue/test-utils. Trace why the dependency is not found despite appearing in package.json; done means the sandbox can import and test Vue components without that dependency error.
