I ran into similar issues in a worker-loader + webpack-worker-wrapper setup. You can work around it by adding this to your vue.config.js :

module.exports = {
  chainWebpack: config => {
    config.output.globalObject('this')
  }
}

... and doing something like this in your worker.js files :

import workerGlobals from './workerGlobals.js'

and in workerGlobals.js

//Comment the lines you don't need.
global.process = process
window = undefined

this work for me, add to vue.config.js
configureWebpack: { output: { globalObject: 'this', }, },

Oh it works. Great!
Maybe it would be a good idea to include that webpack loader directly into vue cli? 🤔

Take a look to #2286!

@Kocal that "just" fixes the issue where I have to add configureWebpack: { output: { globalObject: 'this', }, } manually to my project but not that worker-loader will be add by vue-cli automatically (or via propmt) 😉
