Describe the bug

When we are starting app in dev mode, something goes wrong and nuxt reporting that some package paths are broken. Some paths consist of Array, some are undefined.

Additional context

Package name in logs (@nuxt/ui-templates) appeared because I tried to wrap module resolving function in try catch to determine the broken package. Howerer, it actually didn’t help a lot
