Issue Description

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Follow the instructions in the vue-axe README:
   • https://github.com/vue-a11y/vue-axe-next#readme
3. Start webpack
   • npm run serve

Expected:

• Webpack starts up with no warnings/errors.

Actual:

Thanks for letting us know. We'll take a look to see what is causing the issue. I know we did some dependency updates recently so maybe that caused it? Will have to find out.

Status update on this. We should have a fix out for this in 4.5.2 (releasing today). If after 4.5.2 you are still experiencing problems please let us know.
