Additional context

Here is the package.json for the application (identical to the default Nuxt Content sample app)

{
  "private": true,
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "dev": "nuxt dev",
    "generate": "nuxt generate",
    "preview": "nuxt preview"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@nuxt/content": "^2.13.1",
    "nuxt": "^3.12.4"
  }
}

I also had this when switching from Yarn to PNPM. Removing the node_modules folder and run pnpm i did the trick for me.

[manchenkoff]

Interesting 🤔 for me it didn't work, the project created with pnpm and reinstalled node_modules still triggers the same error 😕

[manchenkoff]

I've tried to create a new project after the Nuxt release, but the issue persists

• nuxt/content: 2.13.2
• nuxt: 3.13.0

Is there any workaround by any chance? @farnabaz @atinux @benjamincanac
Thanks

[mp-mello]

In case you're still looking for a workaround adding overrides to your package.json worked for me as mentioned here: nuxt/icon#204 (comment)

  "overrides": {
    "nitropack": "2.9.5"
  }

Only version 2.9.5 worked for me.

I tried the above (overriding the nitropack) but it still persists.
I am using nuxt 3.13.2 and Nuxt Content doesn't work..

Same observation here.

From other similar issues, it seems to be related to imports, which are currently done on "nitropack/**".

They should instead be done using "#imports", or at least, this his how it has been solved elsewhere.
