Can not run locally via pnpm dev - Package import specifier "#internal/nitro/virtual/app-config" is not defined

I' m having an issue running this locally, strangely it deploys fine to Cloudflare - but I am unable to run it via dev.

ERROR  [worker reload] [worker init] Package import specifier "#internal/nitro/virtual/app-config" is not defined in package /Users/gh/Documents/code/nuxt/edge-todo/node_modules/.pnpm/nitropack@2.9.7_drizzle-orm@0.31.2_@cloudflare+workers-types@4.20240725.0__magicast@0.3.4/node_modules/nitropack/package.json imported from /Users/gh/Documents/code/nuxt/edge-todo/node_modules/.pnpm/nitropack@2.9.7_drizzle-orm@0.31.2_@cloudflare+workers-types@4.20240725.0__magicast@0.3.4/node_modules/nitropack/dist/runtime/config.mjs

This is a fresh install cloned directly from the repo.

Running on an M2 2022 MacBook Air. Tried on Node: v22.5.1 and v20.16.0 using pnpm v9.6.0

I have a similar issue trying to run the nuxt-ui-pro/docs template.

Hey @gwynhokkers

Sorry about this issue, this is quite annoying when it happens. Did you try to remove your node_modules, .nuxt and lock file and install again?

[gwynhokkers]

Hi @Atinux
I was actually having the same issue elsewhere with a different repo - the nuxt pro docs starter.
I did all the usual, delete node_modules, lock files and .nuxt files, still no good.

I cloned the starter to a new directory and still no good. In the end the only thing that worked was creating a new directory outside of where all my other code repos were stored and install it there. Not sure why this would cause issues but seemed to be that Nuxt was just refusing to use v4 compatibility mode when in the same parent directory as my other repos. Odd - and I'm still not sure why.

Could you try with latest dependencies? 🤞

[gwynhokkers]

Quick update - cloned the repo to another folder and seems to be working well now. Looking forward to playing around with it soon!

I'm facing the same issue, moving folders haven't helped.

Same for the github.com/barbapapazes/gavarnie project. Same issue for the versions in the projects and with latest dependency versions as well.

MacBook Air M1 node v22.8.0 pnpm 9.9.0

What command to you use to run @AlekseiAQ ?

[AlekseiAQ]

@atinux

pnpm dev

I've created an issue here https://github.com/nuxt-hub/core/issues/274, I see it across multiple projects.

I was getting this Package import specifier "#internal/nitro/virtual/app-config" is not defined and it ended up being a pnpm workspace issue.

I usually do pnpm i --ignore-workspace to keep my node_modules separate, I think my IDE messed things up somehow and did a regular pnpm i - and even after clearing things in my project folders, it was still doing some sort of inclusion from the root node_modules in the workspace. After I cleared the root node_modules the issue disappeared.

Wanted to add some information from my experience, maybe this will help someone else :)
