try installing css-loader, npm install --save-dev css-loader — Aritra Chakraborty

Figured out how this err happened

I'm developing a npm module and using npm link to test it on my local computer.

It seems that css-loader and post-loader also need to be installed in the test directory.

so npm install css-loader -D worked.

thx @Aritra Chakraborty.
