Running into "couldn't infer parser" error using vue-cli
Removing the current node_modules folder from the project, adding "prettier": "^1.12.1" to package.json and running npm install solved the issue.
Another option is to run npm install prettier@1.12.1 without removeing the node_modules folder before
Update:
For some users, verion 1.12.1 did not work
@Kivin proposed another solution that can be found here: vue webpack template missing parser
Known issue and it will be fixed in the next version of vue-cli
In prettier 1.13.0, default parser was removed with a minor version(used to be babylon)

Sorry, we committed the age-old semver sin- we knew this was a breaking change, but because it would only affect a subset of our users, we didn't bump the major version, because we didn't want to create friction for our users to upgrade.
To get the old behavior, add
parser: "babylon". You may also want to lock prettier to a specific version in your package.json.
