Inserting VueJS component template in HTML page not working

I have the following main.js:

import Test from './components/Test.vue'

Vue.component('test', Test);

var vm = new Vue({
    el: '.vue-wrap',
    components: { Test },
});
window.vm = vm;

And I have the folllowing Test.vue:

<template>
    <li>
        Hello World
    </li>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
        name: 'Test',
    }
</script>

I build the application and I copy the content of "dist" folder in my website's "vue" folder. I have the following HTML file:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset=utf-8><link rel=apple-touch-icon sizes=76x76 href=static/img/apple-icon.png><link rel=icon type=image/png sizes=96x96 href=static/img/favicon.png><meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content="IE=edge,chrome=1"><title>My App!</title><meta name=viewport content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=0"><link type=text/css href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Muli:400,300" rel=stylesheet><link type=text/css href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat" rel=stylesheet><link type=text/css href=https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css rel=stylesheet><link type=text/css href=https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css rel=stylesheet><link href=static/css/themify-icons.css rel=stylesheet><link href=/vue/static/css/app.d9b210b92ea60ad0856c8dc063cccfec.css rel=stylesheet></head><body><div class=wrapper id=app></div><script type=text/javascript src=/vue/static/js/manifest.bdf9878acc459aaa413c.js></script><script type=text/javascript src=/vue/static/js/vendor.0eae82ab4e0e2a32fd9c.js></script><script type=text/javascript src=/vue/static/js/app.aa1500d2bdd1b2f93122.js></script>

<div class="vue-wrap">
  <test></test>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Shouldn't VueJs populate the "test" tag directly with HTML? Because in my case all css/js files are loaded ok, if I enter "vm" in console I can see the Vue object, but still, the template part is not inserted in HTML. How can I do that? My page is empty. I want to load multiple components and they should be inserted in the component slots if these are found in HTML.

If you'd want to be able to specify components Vue is using by wrapping it in the "main" <div class="vue-wrap"> you can make use of slots.

var vm = new Vue({
    el: '.vue-wrap',
    template: "<slot></slot>",
    components: { 
        /* all components injected by "slots" */ 
        Test, 
        SomeComponent
    },
});

... then you can inject your <test></test> component by adding it as a child of a main div.

<div class="vue-wrap">
    <test></test>
    <some-component></some-component>
</div>

Otherwise, if you're able to write your template inside Vue components, you should use template key/option as suggested by @latovic.

var vm = new Vue({
    el: '.vue-wrap',
    template: `
        <test></test>
        <some-component></some-component>
    `,
    components: { Test, SomeComponent }
});

If you're building your application, in other words, if you can use .vue files, then you can write template inside your single-file components.

UPDATE (DUE TO QUESTION UPDATES)

In your particular example, try removing Vue.component('test', Tree); asi it may cause some problems because of case in-sensitive names (this way you're creating global component test and you already imported and registered component Test).

Also, as mentioned before, if you want to pass <test></test> to your HTML and not a template, you'd need a <slot></slot>.

import Test from "/path/to/component";

var vm = new Vue({
    el: '.vue-wrap',
    template: "<slot></slot>",
    components: { 
        /* all components injected by "slots" */ 
        Test
    },
});

But if your index.html is completely empty, it's an issue with your build process, which we cannot help with, as we have no information about it.

If you are using it as the root component, you can just directly use that component using render()

import Test from './components/Test.vue'

var vm = new Vue({
  el: '.vue-wrap',
  render: h => h(Test)
});

Can you try to add template part:

var vm = new Vue({
    el: '.vue-wrap',
    components: { Test },
    template: '<Test/>
});
