Describe the bug

Nuxt CLI reports it cannot find module, the web page is stuck on “Starting nuxt…” with NuxtJS logo and light/dark mode flashing background.

Reproduction

Followed the New project in docs.

npx nuxi init nuxt3-app
cd nuxt3-app
yarn install
yarn dev -o

(happens both with yarn and npm)

The directory of requested module, “nuxt3-app.nuxt\server”, doesn’t exist. I only see “server” directory inside “nuxt3-app.nuxt\dist\server”, but that one doesn’t have index.mjs

That’s because it’s a fresh install using only the four commands specified above, with zero additional modifications.

…minimal reproduction is required unless you are absolutely sure that the issue is obvious and the provided information is enough to understand the problem…

But sure, I’ve pushed the folder as is into https://github.com/mnlj/nuxt3-1226.
