📚 Description

now that nuxt 5 + 4.7 no longer depend on devtools directly, two rough edges surfaced:

on nuxt dev, vite warns:

WARN  [NUXT_B7002] Some vite.optimizeDeps.include entries could not be resolved: nuxt > @nuxt/devtools > @vitejs/devtools-kit/client, nuxt > @nuxt/devtools > error-stack-parser-es, nuxt > @nuxt/devtools > vite-plugin-vue-devtools/client, nuxt > @nuxt/devtools > vite-plugin-vue-tracer/client/overlay.

these entries assumed @nuxt/devtools is reached through nuxt.

this PR resolves them from the module's own location instead, so they work as a direct dependency and still work when nested under nuxt.

with full type checking of nuxt's schema (which doesn't happen by default), the generated NuxtOptions augmentation conflicts:

Interface 'NuxtOptions' incorrectly extends interface 'Omit<ConfigSchema, ...>'.
  Types of property 'devtools' are incompatible.
    Type 'false | ModuleOptions' is not assignable to type 'boolean | { [key: string]: any; enabled: boolean; }'.

nuxt's schema types devtools.enabled as required, while our module declared it optional and defaulted it to undefined at runtime. this PR makes enabled required on the exported ModuleOptions interface and changes the runtime default to true.

I think the undefined was legacy behaviour from before #943

Walkthrough

ModuleOptions.enabled is now required, and its default value is true. The module resolves four client dependency subpaths for Vite’s optimizeDeps.include, with a fallback to the original IDs when resolution fails. Tests cover the option type and the resolved dependency paths. Server RPC type imports are regrouped. Two skill lockfile hashes are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to dca8e

Existing typed configurations may need an enabled property to compile. Projects that disable dependency discovery may also make additional development-time browser requests.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 5 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Confirm that the resolution conditions match Vite's client resolution.

The conditions list is hard-coded. It includes development, but it does not include import before module in a way that Vite controls. Vite may therefore resolve a different file for the same package. In that case, the pre-bundled entry would not match the file that the browser imports. Pre-bundling would then run twice, or a reload would occur.

The .catch(() => id) fallback hides all resolution failures. A missing package then returns to the original problem without any log. Add a logger.debug or logger.warn call in the catch handler.

Preserve the input options type.

ModuleOptions is exported by the module. Existing code such as const options: ModuleOptions = { componentInspector: false } now fails type checking, although omitting enabled remains valid at runtime. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep enabled optional on the public input type. Use a separate resolved type where enabled must be required.

Cover direct and nested installations.

The workspace test does not check either installed layout. Its suffix assertions can accept paths resolved from the wrong location. The boot check can also miss optimisation failures if both endpoints return 200.

Add tests for both installed layouts. Assert that each entry resolves using the installed @nuxt/devtools module’s location.
