bug(nuxt-content): could not load file `mdc-imports.mjs`

[miclgael]

Hello, and thank you for taking initiative in this module!

My set-up includes Nuxt Content, and produces this error on macOS 12.2.1 (21D62) Monterey

Things tried

1. I confirmed the file it is looking for does indeed exist.
2. I tried disabling mdc in Nuxt Content, but this didn't help.
3. I tried making a repro for you but for some reason Storybook just hung and never launched :(

Getting the issue as well

Hi @daniellacosse - any chance you could do up a reproduction? Not sure what I was doing wrong :3

[MichaelJCole]

I'm not using Storybook, but I have this exact same issue with a Nuxt 3 programmatic build.

I have a working version (a "reproduction") and a non-working version (my app). Both builds work without the content module.

The difference seems to be tsconfig.server.json.

tsconfig.server.json - not working

      "#mdc-imports": [
        "./file:/home/michael/causing-us/friend-server/.quasar/electron/baseLayer/.nuxt/mdc-imports"
      ],

tsconfig.server.json - working

      "#mdc-imports": [
        "./mdc-imports"
      ],

Not sure how to debug this. Why does it use a file: protocol?

[richard-edwards]

I'm getting the same error with my project which is using Nuxt Content and Nuxt UI Pro. I can reproduce it by installing the nuxt-ui-pro saas template (https://github.com/nuxt-ui-pro/saas) with npx nuxi init -t github:nuxt-ui-pro/saas and then doing the standard storybook install. You'll need a NUXT_UI_PRO_LICENSE to create a production build so maybe the nuxt ui guys can get you one to test it out. I don't think the error is UI Pro though, I think it's Content because of the MDC component.

Just thought you could try this as a repro. Might even be able to use Content Wind to see the error, https://github.com/atinux/content-wind

[richard-edwards]

So I just quickly confirmed the Content Wind has the same issue.

Easy repro:

npx nuxi@latest init -t themes/content-wind my-website

npm install -D @nuxtjs/storybook 

// edit nuxt.config.js
export default defineNuxtConfig(
{
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/storybook']
})

npx storybook-nuxt init

pnpm run storybook
