Troubleshooting

Diagnose setup and workflow problems in Nuxt Pro.

On this page

Nuxt is not detected#

Open the workspace root and inspect package.json, lockfiles, and nuxt.config.*. Confirm the project is inside an IDE content root and let indexing finish.

Doctor reports an unexpected version#

Check installed packages and the active lockfile. Nuxt and @nuxt/devtools are reported independently. Reinstall consistently with the project’s package manager if installed files and the lockfile disagree.

Check Nuxt’s actual file layout and static definePageMeta values. For named views, verify the @name suffix and matching NuxtPage name. Dynamically constructed metadata may require manual navigation.

Report an issue#

Use email support and include:

  • Your IDE edition and full build number from Help → About.
  • The installed plugin version; this manual covers 2026.1.3.
  • Relevant external-tool versions, the failing action, and a small reproducible example.
  • The error message and relevant log excerpt, with credentials and private project data removed.

Use Help → Show Log in Finder/Explorer to locate IDE logs when requested. Describe what you expected to happen and whether the same operation works from a terminal.
