Why is Vue.js Chrome Devtools not detecting Vue.js?

Question

I have the following code with a simple working Vue.js application. But the vue.js devtools is not responding. It was working well a few days ago, now it\'s not working anymore

Answer 1

I'm using Vue in electron and I have the electron main "app" separated Vue's "app".

When in the the debugger console, typing Vue was giving the error Uncaught ReferenceError: Vue is not defined

Here was my fix

window.vue = new Vue({
  components: {
    App,
    Login,
  },
  router,
  store,
  template: '',
}).$mount('#app');

The work-around was assigning window.Vue so the devtool could find it.
