warning to precompile template when it appears to be properly compiled

[RwwL]

I see the [Vue warn]: You are using the runtime-only build of Vue where the template compiler is not available. Either pre-compile the templates into render functions, or use the compiler-included build. message in the console, but it doesn't make sense to me because when I look at my browserify build, the one and only component that I'm integrating into the app (a single-file .vue component called vue-upload-queue that lives in its own repo) appears to have been properly compiled... it has been babelified, it has a render function, etc.

The relevant portion of our browserify build process looks like

  if (config.debug !== true) {
    bundler.transform(envify({ NODE_ENV: 'production' }), { global: true });
  }
  bundler.transform(vueify, { global: true });
  bundler.transform(babelify, {
    global: true,
    presets: [['es2015']],
    extensions: ['.vue', '.js'],
    only: /\/node_modules\/(vue-upload-queue)\//,
  });

The vue that I'm including is Vue's dist/vue.runtime.js, and if I can get this working I'll tailor it so I have the minified version in the production build & unminified in development.

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something about this whole process/setup, but I don't know yet what I don't know yet, so please let me know what other info I might need to provide to get some help, thanks.

The vue version is 2.5.16; vueify is 9.4.1.

UPDATE, after some more Googling I think I'm discovering that the issue may be with my root component. Looks like to use the runtime-only build I'll need to make sure that I'm not looking in the DOM for an <upload-queue> and instead creating a root app component with a render function — sound correct?

UPDATE 2, Yep, that was it. Here's the page that pointed me in the right direction.
