Nuxt and vuex-persist: npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

[gilles6]

I'm getting the following error when using npm up after installing npm install --save vuex-persist, what's wrong with this package and my configuration?

I'm using Nuxt ^2.15.8.

i think your nuxt version have conflict with the new vuex-persist, try reinstall 2.3 or 2.2 vuex-persist and give a try.

seems the issue is in package.json:
"peerDependencies": { "vuex": ">=2.5" }

it got resolved up to vue@"^3.0.2" i.e. incompatible version of vue

[gustawdaniel]

You should install

npm install vuex@3 --save

and then

npm install --save vuex-persist

to be compatible with vue 2
