Nuxt v4 upgrade and dependancy conflicts
I have a couple modules that I'm trying to figure out how to use with v4 specifically.
@sentry/nuxt
@vueuse/nuxt
@nuxt/scripts
when I do the upgrade and try to npm install i get conflicting peer dependency issues for all of these.

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

When upgrading to Nuxt v4, dependency conflicts—especially peer dependency issues—are a common challenge, particularly with modules like
@sentry/nuxt, @vueuse/nuxt, and @nuxt/scripts. Here’s how you can approach resolving these issues based on the available documentation:
1. Upgrade Nuxt and Deduplicate Dependencies
After upgrading Nuxt to v4 (using npm install nuxt@^4.0.0), it’s recommended to run the Nuxt upgrade command with deduplication. This helps resolve many dependency conflicts by ensuring your lockfile is up-to-date and dependencies are deduplicated:
This command will upgrade Nuxt and deduplicate dependencies, which is especially helpful for resolving issues with packages in the Nuxt/unjs ecosystem. If you still encounter issues, you can try the --force flag to recreate your lockfile and node_modules from scratch, which can further help resolve conflicts Nuxt Upgrade Guide Nuxt v4.0.1 Release Notes.
2. Handling Peer Dependency Conflicts
If you continue to see peer dependency conflicts after running the upgrade and dedupe commands, you can try installing the conflicting dependencies with the --legacy-peer-deps flag. This flag tells npm to ignore peer dependency conflicts and install the packages anyway:
This approach is commonly used when there are mismatches between the versions required by Nuxt and those required by your modules, as seen in similar issues with TypeScript and ESLint plugins Stack Overflow: TypeScript/ESLint Peer Dependency Issue.
3. Module Compatibility
- @sentry/nuxt and @vueuse/nuxt: The knowledge sources do not provide explicit compatibility information for these modules with Nuxt v4. If you continue to have issues, check if there are newer versions of these modules that explicitly support Nuxt v4, or consult their respective repositories for migration guides or open issues.
- @nuxt/scripts: This package has seen frequent updates to address compatibility and bug fixes. Make sure you are using the latest version (e.g., 0.9.4 as of the latest PRs) to avoid known issues Update @nuxt/scripts to v0.9.4.
4. Additional Tips
- If you are using pnpm, you may encounter additional peer dependency issues. Using the --shamefully-hoist flag can sometimes help, but it’s best to stick with npm or yarn if you continue to have trouble Install fails with pnpm.
- For persistent issues, check if the modules require specific versions of Nuxt or Vue, and align your dependencies accordingly.
Summary
- Upgrade Nuxt and deduplicate dependencies: npx nuxt upgrade --dedupe
- Use npm install --legacy-peer-deps if you hit peer dependency conflicts
- Ensure all modules are on their latest versions compatible with Nuxt v4
- Check module repositories for v4 compatibility notes
