Why is my Nuxt project still reporting version 3.10 after upgrading to 3.15?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I upgraded my Nuxt3 project from version 3.10 to 3.15, but the output still shows the older version. I tried removing node modules and package-lock.json, clearing the npm cache, and even upgrading Node with nvm. However, the issue persists.
I removed everything completely with the following commands. Any advice or insights on what I might be missing would be appreciated.

BASH
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install

Output:

At this point I am at a loss on how to upgrade Nuxt. Below is the output of some additional commands:

Below is a set of steps you can try to resolve the upgrade issue:

Double‑Check Your Package Version
Your package.json shows nuxt@3.15.2, yet during build and dev the output says “Nuxt 3.10.1.” This usually indicates that an older version of the Nuxt CLI (nuxi) is being used. Run the following command inside your project to see which version is installed locally:

BASH
npm ls nuxt

Remove Global Installations
An outdated global installation of nuxi might be interfering. If you have nuxi or nuxt installed globally, remove them:

BASH
npm uninstall -g nuxi nuxt

Delete Generated Folders
Sometimes leftovers in the build caches can cause issues. Remove the folders where Nuxt caches its output:

BASH
rm -rf .nuxt .output

Reinstall Dependencies
Clear your local dependencies completely to make sure you have a clean install:

BASH
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install

Use the Local Binary
Rather than a globally installed nuxi, run the local version via npx. For example, to start development:

BASH
npx nuxi dev --host 0.0.0.0

Check Your npm Scripts
Ensure that the scripts in your package.json use the locally installed nuxi (for example, they might call “nuxt dev” or “nuxi dev”). This minimizes the risk of accidentally using a global binary.
Update with nuxi Upgrade Command
Although you mentioned trying to upgrade, you might also try:

BASH
npx nuxi upgrade

This will check your dependencies and update the framework if there’s any leftover version mismatch.

By verifying that you’re using only the local (updated) version of Nuxt and clearing any stale build artifacts, you should be able to run the upgraded version (3.15.2) instead of the older one.

I don't see any problem with your project so far, I used Node v22 + PNPM v9.15.4 and everything worked as expected.

You do have the Nuxt version shown in your package.json.
