Vue 3.1.0 project detected as Vue 2

[Derranion]

On my current project Vue ^3.1.0 is used.

After the recent Vue Dev Tools update it started to detect it as Vue 2 project.

This forced Dev Tools to use some outdated version.

Update: 3.4.35 is the Vue version, Vue Dev Tools version in the plugin section is 7.6.3 but it looks significantly different to what we had 1 week ago.

Current workaround I found is to use legacy v6 plugin: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vuejs-devtools/iaajmlceplecbljialhhkmedjlpdblhp?utm_source=ext_sidebar?utm_source=ext_sidebar

But would be great to resolve this, not sure why this is happening.

Could be related to options API syntax used in the app but this is still a valid Vue 3 syntax.

Thanks in advance.

This is a bit strange, do you have multiple instances of vue in your app? This is not related to the options API, which is supported in v7. If we can provide minimum repo, it will help us locate the issue.

The v3.4.35 in the orange block is not the devtools version, but the installed Vue version 🤔 Your screenshot clearly shows the UI of v7. You probably specify ^3.1.0 in your package.json, so the installed Vue version is 3.4.5 since it respect the semver limitation.

v3.4.35 is your project vue version instead of the current vue-devtools version, if everything works fine that might be a vue version detection bug.

Or that they don't know the difference between the minimum requested version in the package.json and the installed version in the lockfile.

You can try devtools functions if they can work properly, looks like problems have been resolved, right?

@alexzhang1030 I'm not OP, I think OP is confused, I don't think there is a bug

This is correct, package.json version used in the project is "vue": "^3.1.0".

For some reason I thought that Vue Dev Tools version can be found in the plugin info but it is a Vue version instead indeed.

In any case I don't know which exact Vue Dev Tools version is used, plugin itself shows Version 7.6.3:

It looks this way:

One week ago it looked significantly different.

Not sure if this is expected.

If this is just a new design - ticket could be closed, because I didn't see these changes in the recent releases: https://github.com/vuejs/devtools/releases

The extension was updated from v6 to v7. I believe the initial version of v7 is 7.6.0. 7.0.0 to 7.6.0 were in Vue Devtools Next for testing I think.
