Version

2.9.3

Steps to reproduce

Please forgive the invalid “Link to minimal reproduction”. I do not understand why this is required for a CLI issue? It isn’t code related.

I installed @vue/cli-service-global and trying to use “vue serve” returns nothing. No error, no output, just zip.

What is expected?

That it would start up a development server.

What is actually happening?

Nothing.

Oh, I just realized you are running 2.9.3? Well, vue serve is a command of vue-cli 3.0. Where did you learn about this command if not in the 3.0 docs?

Additionally, even if you were running 3.0, you would still have to provide a file to serve:

vue serve App.vue

See: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/dev/docs/cli.md#vue-serve

it just does nothing as well. I’m assuming that should be another bug report (or enhancement request)?

Theoretically, yes. But I think we won’t improve 2.* anymore in such ways, only fix major bugs.

Got the same problem and changed from vue-cli to @vue/cli as lucio-lu suggested. Problem solved. You can use your vue file directly, ie, vue serve mycomponent.vue …
