Trouble with pinia - `defineStore is not defined` when a layer containing a pinia store is called
I have been fighting this issue for awhile now, but when I have a layer in my app that is packaged separately (non-monorepo) and it uses pinia, I get errors in my app:
defineStore is not defined -- I have tried so many things to work around this, and even have a PR that I think fixes the issue on pinia: https://github.com/vuejs/pinia/pull/2699
Maybe this is a shot in the dark, but if anyone can help me understand where/why that is failing it would be a big help. If I look in the imports.d.ts file in my app's .nuxt dir, I can see that defineStore is exported:
I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.GitHub

Hi @dmarr. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I don't have enough specific details to directly address your issue with
defineStore is not defined in a layer containing a Pinia store. However, I can provide some insights and suggestions based on related information:
1. Pinia Integration: Nuxt 3 has built-in support for Pinia through the @pinia/nuxt module. Make sure you have properly installed and configured this module in your Nuxt project.
2. Module Configuration: Ensure that you have added '@pinia/nuxt' to the modules array in your nuxt.config.ts file:
3. Importing defineStore: In your Pinia store files, make sure you're importing defineStore correctly:
4. Layer Dependencies: There might be an issue with how dependencies are managed in layers. According to a GitHub issue comment, layers should be able to use their own dependencies, but they don't expose them to the final project. If you're using a git source for your layer, you might need to consider publishing it as an npm package or using a monorepo approach for local development.
5. Pinia Version Compatibility: Ensure that you're using compatible versions of Pinia and @pinia/nuxt. There have been recent discussions about major version updates for Pinia, which might affect compatibility. YouTube: Nuxt 3: MAJOR versions for Pinia and VueUse
6. Hydration Issues: While not directly related to your specific error, be aware that using Pinia stores can sometimes lead to hydration mismatches, especially when dealing with server-side rendering. Stack Overflow: Hydration completed but contains mismatches using VeeValidate and Pinia in Nuxt
Given the complexity of your issue and the lack of specific information in the provided knowledge sources, I recommend:
1. Double-checking your Pinia and @pinia/nuxt versions and ensuring they're compatible with your Nuxt version.
2. Verifying that Pinia is properly configured in your Nuxt config file.
3. Considering the use of a monorepo for local development of your layer, as suggested in one of the GitHub issues.
4. If the issue persists, you might want to create a minimal reproduction of the problem and seek help on the Nuxt or Pinia GitHub issues, as your case seems quite specific and might require more in-depth investigation.

----------------------<@139883350096740354> Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
as additional context, if I
npm link the layer dep, the error does not happen.
and in that case the imports.d.ts file points to the location of the layer:
Finally figured it out. My layer had a srcDir set. The storesDirs weren’t set relative to the layer using createResolver.
