[Vue warn]: Slot "default" invoked outside of the render function: this will not track dependencies
I get these warnings all the time. Should I worry about this? Everything seems working fine.

Hi @Revadike. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

The warning
[Vue warn]: Slot "default" invoked outside of the render function: this will not track dependencies indicates that a slot is being used outside of the proper render context, which can lead to issues with reactivity and dependency tracking in Vue/Nuxt. While your application may appear to work fine, this warning suggests that changes to reactive data may not always trigger updates as expected, potentially causing subtle bugs.
The knowledge sources do not explicitly address this specific warning, but they do highlight the importance of using Vue and Nuxt features (like composables and slots) in the correct context—typically within the setup function, render function, or template. For example, composables and slots should not be invoked outside of these contexts, as it can break reactivity and lead to unpredictable behavior. If you see this warning, it's best to review your code to ensure that slots are only used within the render function or template, not in lifecycle hooks or outside component setup/render logic. This will help maintain proper reactivity and avoid future issues Vue and Nuxt Composables.
In summary: while things may seem to work, you should not ignore this warning. It's a sign that something is not being used as intended, and it could cause problems down the line.
