loadNuxt not found

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Node Version: v16.13.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.0.0-27274229.29599f0
• Package Manager: npm@8.1.0
• Bundler: Vite
• User Config: publicRuntimeConfig, buildModules, intlify
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: @intlify/nuxt3@0.1.8, nuxt-windicss@2.0.12

Describe the bug

nuxt-windicss use @nuxt/kit: latest as a dependency. As soon as I download the package nuxt-windicss, my app cannot start and throws an error “loadNuxt not found”.

In packages/nuxi/src/utils/kit.ts, we have the function loadKit. This function is called in packages/nuxi/src/commands/dev.ts at line 36

const { loadNuxt, buildNuxt } = await loadKit(rootDir)

The problem is that loadKit returns a default key. So we should either do

const { default as defaultKit } = await loadKit(rootDir)
const { loadNuxt, buildNuxt } = defaultKit

Or change packages/nuxi/src/utils/kit.ts with

import { importModule } from './cjs'

export const loadKit = async (rootDir: string): Promise<typeof import('@nuxt/kit')> => {
  try {
    const module = await importModule('@nuxt/kit', rootDir) as typeof import('@nuxt/kit')
    return module.default
  } catch (e) {
    if (e.toString().includes("Cannot find module '@nuxt/kit'")) {
      throw new Error('nuxi requires `@nuxt/kit` to be installed in your project. Try installing `nuxt3` or `@nuxt/bridge` first.')
    }
    throw e
  }
}

Reproduction

The problem comes from the last version of nuxt-windicss which uses @nuxt/kit: latest. Reproduction: npx nuxi init nuxt3-app

Then add in package.json, devDependencies -> “nuxt-windicss”: “^2.0.12”

npm run dev fails with “Cannot start nuxt: loadNuxt is not a function”

Hi. To avoid mixed syntax issues I removed CJS support from @nuxt/kit stub in 0.8.0-edge so it is identical to @nuxt/kit-edge now.

The issue with the CJS default export should be gone if you recreate the lock file (Using npx nuxi upgrade --force)

If still having issues after upgrading, please mention.
