 Note: if you are using a `<script setup>` component, `vm` will not be available. That's because `<script setup>` components are [closed by default](https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/blob/master/active-rfcs/0040-script-setup.md#exposing-components-public-interface). For these components, and in general, consider avoiding `vm` and asserting against the rendered markup.

 ## Conclusion
 
 - use `vm` to access the internal Vue instance
