awesome repo starter budie

thanks

@koakh What is your node version?

[koakh]

hello @HanielU

first: thanks for your reply and awesome repo

second: sorry for the delay, I only see this message right now

my node version is

node -v
v20.2.0

thanks but I can change for any other with nvm, just say the version that you use and I change it

if I use latest LTS like v18.16.0 it fails with other errors, for ex

@apps/server:dev: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /mnt/storage/Development/Svelte/SvelteKit/SvelteKitPayloadCMSTRPCTurborepo/sk-trpc-payload/apps/server/src/trpc/router.mts
@apps/server:dev: require() of ES modules is not supported.

thanks

UPDATE: I think I fix it in node v18.16.0 project is already running, I made some changes to work with *nix, because the original project are to tied to windows, and we must change some things to work

I can make some notes of the changes and send or make a PR but first I must test project and clean some things to have only the changes that are useful

[HanielU]

@koakh That's fine if you can make a PR

My node version

node -v
v18.12.1

[sudmann]

Any update on this? I'm facing the same issue and would like to know how to resolve it.

[koakh]

What problem do you have, This one? TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".mts"

In my case, I solve it using

node -v v18.12.1

Like it was reported above, if you have any other problem, please specify it
