Reproduction

Dev branch of https://github.com/WorkEvent/website/tree/dev

Cloning, installing and running the project should give the error.

You can also check it out on https://stackblitz.com/github/WorkEvent/website/tree/dev?file=README.md

Describe the bug

When trying to run the project through nuxi dev, I get an error about @nuxt/vite-builder being missing.

Additional context

Was on version 3.0.0-rc.1 and upgraded, cannot start the project since.

I already tried to remove my node_modules, package-lock and installing again. The error is even reproductible from cloud instances like stackblitz. I also tried doing the same on multiple devices and couldn’t get the project to run.

[ColinEspinas]

Just got it to work. Hurray!

Steps I did:

# Clear current deps just in case
> rm -rf node_modules
> rm package-lock.json
> rm -rf .nuxt
> npm cache clear -f

# Install packages with the --legacy-peer-deps option
> npm i --legacy-peer-deps
> npm run dev

# Have fun!

Thanks for the help, have a great day.

Unfortunately the solutions above did not work for me. However I ran:

npm i -D @nuxt/vite-builder --force
npm run dev
