What's the solution? Was it included in the alpha12 release?

[dmitry-kurmanov]

@ayush987goyal I think that the fix will be available in the next patch release. As a workaround we could downgrade version to alpha.11 via npm install -g @vue/cli@3.0.0-alpha.11

When can we expect this fix to be published to yarn?

I solved the same problem with npm's version upgrade:
Node Version: 8.11.3
NPM Version: 6.1.0
Vue version: 3.0.0-rc.3
