VueJS Router 'Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined.'

Question

I'm following this video: https://laracasts.com/series/learn-vue-2-step-by-step/episodes/26?autoplay=true

My initial problem is described here, but that was resolved. I include it here so you can see what steps I've taken so far.

Now, I'm getting this warning: [Vue warn]: Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined.

A warning is not so bad, but the router-view is not showing up. That is, there is nothing showing up below the Home and About links.

master.blade.php

<!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My App</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/app.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="app">
            <router-link to="/">Home</router-link>
            <router-link to="/about">About</router-link>

            <router-view></router-view>
        </div>
        <script src="/js/app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Home.vue

<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
                <div class="panel panel-default">
                    <div class="panel-heading">Home Page</div>

                    <div class="panel-body">
                        I'm an example component!
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
        mounted() {
            console.log('Component mounted.')
        }
    }
</script>

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I added my app.js and bootstrap.js files. — murribu

Do you have templates or components for your routes in routes.js VueRouter. — thefallen

Sorry - I should've included that as well. I just updated my question to include my routes.js file — murribu

Ah! Thanks to TheFallen's questions, I see my problem. Here's what my routes.js file should look like:

import VueRouter from 'vue-router';
import Home from './views/Home.vue';

let routes = [
    {
        path: '/',
        component: Home
    }
];

export default new VueRouter({
    routes
});
