v3 not compatible with vue-tables-2 (process is not defined)

[vesper8]

Version

3.0.0-beta.2

Reproduction link

https://github.com/vesper8/vuecli-vuetables2-error

Steps to reproduce

Install vue-tables-2
Try to use either the server table or client table, they both cause the error

What is expected?

It should work, I've been using it for over a year on a non vue-cli project. Latest version works fine if not using vue-cli v3

What is actually happening?

getting a 'process is not defined' error

---

A few of us are having this very problem. And we're all using vue-cli v3 beta. Please see this issue

So after more trial and error I used 'vue inspect' to see what was inside the webpack config and I noticed

  node: {
    ...
    process: false,
    ...
  }

I also found someone that was having a similar problem in another github project suggest to change it to process: 'mock'

So inside my vue.config.js I added

  configureWebpack: {
    node: {
      process: 'mock',
    },
  },

and low and behold that fixed the problem. vue-tables-2 now works

I also tried process: true instead of process: 'mock' and that also works

Now I have no idea why this was set to false, and what are the repercussions of what I just did.. I would love to know if what I'm doing is bad.. and why it was needed in order to make this popular package work..
