Webpack configuration: vue-cli should load .node files by default

[andrei-pmbcn]

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently, jsdom cannot run in vue-cli projects that use unit tests without changing the projects' webpack configurations. However, jsdom is essential for testing apps developed for browsers, as it allows people to mock the window object and other features of browsers, without which most of the vue components' methods would throw errors. It would therefore be worthwhile to integrate node-loader by default in the webpack configurations of projects that use unit testing, so that jsdom can be loaded into their tests.

What does the proposed API look like?

The equivalent of this webpack-chain statement:
chainWebpack: config => {
config.module
.rule('node')
.test(/.node$/)
.use('node-loader')
.loader('node-loader')
.end()
}

EDIT: changed this to a feature request when I noticed that the problem can be solved by adding a feature.

are you aware that we already include jsdom in the mocha-webpack setup?

https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/dev/packages/%40vue/cli-plugin-unit-mocha/setup.js

So is there a specific reason that you try to include it in the tests yourself again and bundle it with webpack?

(Sidenote: I only know what you are talking about this as I saw the previous state of this issue which contained a demo of the problem. You unfortunately removed it so it's hard for other people go get where you are coming from)
