Steps to reproduce

Using a brand new create-vue project (see Stackblitz repro):

• register a global component in main.ts

  
  import App from './App.vue';
  import HelloWorld from './components/HelloWorld.vue';

createApp(App).component('HelloWorld', HelloWorld).mount('#app');

- use it in `App.vue` without importing it:
```vue
<script setup lang="ts"></script>

<template>
  <header>
    <div class="wrapper">
      <HelloWorld msg="You did it!" />
    </div>
  </header>
</template>

• add it in env.d.ts for vue-tsc:

  declare module '@vue/runtime-core' {
  interface GlobalComponents {
  HelloWorld: typeof HelloWorld;
  }
  }

• run npm run type-check:

  
  > vue-tsc --build --force

src/App.vue:14:8 - error TS2339: Property 'HelloWorld' does not exist on type '{}'.

14

- downgrade `vue-tsc` to an older version, run `npm i && npm run type-check`: the type-checking succeeds.

change @vue/runtime-core to vue will make it work, I had this issue with pnpm before due to how pnpm handle peers, but it seems with newest version npm also have the same issue 🤔

@RayGuo-ergou You're right that fixes it, but it used to support @vue/runtime-core. I'm wondering if this no longer works on purpose (and if so it should maybe be mentioned in the changelog).

Some of the information here may be helpful.

I've documented global components in the wiki. Please check and let me know if this approach works for you.

That does not work for me unfortunately. I also tried solutions in https://github.com/vuejs/language-tools/issues/4501 and they did not work either.

The only thing that kinda worked was adding this to tsconfig.json

"vueCompilerOptions": {
  "lib": "@vue/runtime-core",
},

And then use

declare module '@vue/runtime-core' {
  interface GlobalComponents {
    CustomComponent: typeof CustomComponent;
  }
}

declare module 'vue' causes it to not work with the tsconfig addition.

But when add the vueCompilerOptions that causes errors everywhere in my site that uses (for example) a var foo = ref(), to require adding the .value when using it in the <template> tags. The error it gives is Property 'foo' does not exist on type Ref.

Just for reference, if I import the component locally to a file, the types are there no problem. It's only when registering it globally I have this problem.
