the default was just changed for wrangler v3: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/releases/tag/wrangler%403.0.0

wrangler dev now runs fully-locally by default, using the open-source Cloudflare Workers runtime workerd.

To restore the previous behaviour of running on a remote machine with access to production data, use the new --remote flag.

The --local and --experimental-local flags have been deprecated, as this behaviour is now the default, and will be removed in the next major version.

If you need to migrate then you have to do a manual backup from the old one and then import it into the new one. There isn’t an automated process.

Is there a way to try D1 locally in, say, a Nuxt.js app in dev mode? I tried running

wrangler pages dev --proxy [nuxt dev server port] -- pnpm dev

wrangler pages dev --proxy [nuxt dev server port] -- pnpm dev

but the

context.cloudflare

context.cloudflare

and

process.env.[DB_BINDING]

process.env.[DB_BINDING]

don't seem to exist when I try to access them in

defineEventHandler()

. I read the documentation but I'm still not clear on how exactly to approach this. Any guidance or examples would be appreciated.

You may be better off asking in #pages-help if
