Nothing happens when I run npx vue-devtools

[andresilva-cc]

I'm following the official documentation.
When I type npx vue-devtools in my project folder, nothing happens, no error returned, nothing.

I also tried a new project, nothing happens too...

package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@vue/devtools": "^5.3.3",
    "nativescript-socketio": "^3.3.1",
    "nativescript-theme-core": "~1.0.6",

    "node-sass": "^4.7.1",
    "vue-loader": "~15.4.0"
  }

app.js:

import VueDevtools from 'nativescript-vue-devtools'
import Vue from 'nativescript-vue'
import i18n from './assets/lang'

// Pages
import WelcomePage from './pages/Welcome'

Vue.use(VueDevtools)

// Load plugins
require('./plugins')

// Load filters
require('./utils/filters')

new Vue({

    template: `
        <Frame>
            <WelcomePage />
        </Frame>`,

    components: {
        WelcomePage
    },

    i18n
}).$start()

That's odd - have you ran npm install? Check node_modules/bin folder and see if there is a vue-devtools file.

Another thing you can try is to just run npx @vue/devtools instead.

[andresilva-cc]

Yes, I have run npm install.
There's no bin folder inside node_modules.

npx @vue/devtools happens nothing too...

EDIT:
It's actually .bin folder, I found it and vue-devtools is inside it.

[rigor789]

Try running the bin directly with node node_modules/.bin/vue-devtools (or whatever the path/filename is) and see if there are any errors.

Could be something with your setup, I'm not sure. The command should open an electron window with the devtools.

If it's not working, try looking for issues in the Vue Devtools repo: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-devtools/issues

This repo only contains the code required to connect to the devtools from a NativeScript-Vue app.

I also tried this before but no luck, still nothing opens.

Good idea, I'm gonna search (or post if I don't find anything) in the DevTools repo. For now, I'll leave this issue on standby.

I found the issue and found a possible solution that didn't work for me, so I posted a new comment there.
If anyone wants to read it, go to vuejs/devtools-v6#1071 (comment)

For now, I'm going to close this issue as it isn't a problem with nativescript-vue-devtools, but with vue-devtools.

Thank's @rigor789 for the help.

Hope you figure it out soon!
