    The fix here would be to downgrade to a compatible version of less-loader. The simplest way to do this is to check release notes, frequently found on a package's repository page. The repository for less-loader is webpack-contrib/less-loader on Github (found via npm info less-loader), and on their releases page they have notes for each major, minor, and patch (or bugfix) release.
