Failed to resolve dependencies when starting Nuxt under workspaces

Environment

---

• Operating System: Darwin
• Node Version: v17.8.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.0.0-27490192.4253d2e
• Package Manager: yarn@1.22.18
• Builder: vite
• User Config: -
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: -

---

Reproduction

1. Create a minimal workspace: echo '{"private": true, "workspaces": ["app"]}' > package.json
2. Create the starter nuxt 3 app inside the same directory: npx nuxi init app
3. Update app/package.json to add a name and version (since yarn 1.x requires this in its workspaces).
   • sed -i '' 's/"private"/"name":"app","version":"1.0.0","private"/' app/package.json
4. The cwd should look like this:

./app
./app/app.vue
./app/README.md
./app/.gitignore
./app/package.json
./app/nuxt.config.ts
./app/tsconfig.json
./package.json

1. Run yarn to setup the workspace
2. Test out the workspace’s dev: yarn workspace app dev – this works
3. Build: yarn workspace app build – this fails (see logs)

Describe the bug

Unable to build a nuxt 3 app within a yarn 1.x workspace. Development works fine. Build will also work if I nuke the workspace’s node_modules and link it directly to the parent directory’s node_modules.

It’s fixed in nitropack v0.3.7 (https://github.com/unjs/nitro/commit/458ff5793a6d088c5813a05173a35675f453267d)

You can upgrade it with a clean install (or a version resolution). Make sure it emits v0.3.7 or above then you run yarn why nitropack and then it should work fine.

➜ yarn why nitropack
└─ nuxt@npm:3.0.0-rc.1
   └─ nitropack@npm:0.3.7 (via npm:^0.3.5)

A workaround for now is to run yarn nuxi build app (from the workspace root) rather than yarn workspace app build.
