Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
I report a bug.

As in the link shown: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/KqLMXY#anon-login

Bug: What is the current behavior?
There is an exception which breaks the whole app

Bug: What is the expected behavior?
It should work fine

Bug: What browsers are impacted? Which versions?
Tested on latest versions of chrome, safari & firefox

Bug: What is the proposed solution?
Lock on 2.3.x for now or upgrade code ?

From what I can understand, it looks like the DI does not work properly with this upgrade

What is the version you are using? Always use the latest one before opening a bug issue.
I did a fresh npm install following the guide here: vue-instantsearch.netlify.com

Hey @michaelchiche, we found out about this change yesterday as well, the problem is indeed that the dependency injection -- the context -- changed from Vue 2.3 to 2.4. We didn't find an immediate solution to this, but definitely will keep an eye on this and have it fixed asap. For now you can still use 2.3.X indeed

see also vuejs/vue#6093

A workaround mentioned in that thread is to do this after your import of Vue and before your import of Vue InstantSearch:

Vue.config.optionMergeStrategies.inject = (parent, child) => Vue.util.extend(Vue.util.extend({}, parent), child)

A fix has been merged. Now waiting for release of 2.4.2 🎉

@michaelchiche should now be fixed in 2.4.2 of Vue.js
Please re-open the issue if the new release does not solve your initial problem.
