[vuex] mutation type: ${type}. Silent option has been remove

Error message

[vuex] mutation type: ${type}. Silent option has been removed. Use the filter functionality in the vue-devtools

What it means

Vuex historically allowed commit(type, payload, { silent: true }) to suppress devtools logging; that option was removed. Committing with options.silent in development triggers this warning. The commit itself still runs.

Solutions

1. Remove the { silent: true } third argument from commit calls
2. Use vue-devtools mutation filtering to hide noisy mutations instead
3. If the mutation is too noisy, throttle the commit or batch values in component state and commit periodically

Example fix

// before
store.commit('updatePosition', pos, { silent: true })
// after
store.commit('updatePosition', pos) // filter 'updatePosition' in vue-devtools instead

function commitWithoutSilent(store, type, payload, options) {
  const { silent, ...rest } = options || {}
  store.commit(type, payload, Object.keys(rest).length ? rest : undefined)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling store.commit('mutation', payload, { silent: true }) with __DEV__ true — usually legacy code migrated from Vuex 1.x/early 2.x or copied from old tutorials.

Common situations: Upgrading from Vuex 1.x where silent was supported; high-frequency mutations (mouse move, timers) that wanted to avoid devtools spam; copied snippet from outdated docs.
