After addubg '@nuxtjs/markdownit' to nuxt modules, nuxt startup fails

[paweloque]

I've installed v2.0.0 of @nuxtjs/markdownit to my vuejs application which is using nuxt (v2.12.2).
After adding:

  modules: [
    ...
    '@nuxtjs/markdownit',
  ],

To nuxt modules, nuxt informs me on startup:

  ✖ Nuxt Fatal Error
   │   TypeError: Cannot read property 'options' of undefined

Is this a compatibility problem? Or a wrong configuration of the markdownit module?

The trace of the error is:

 FATAL  Cannot read property 'options' of undefined                                                                                                                                                          18:20:19
