Additional comments?

Tracking down the bug locally in the built package inside node_modules the offending line seems to be this one:

• node_modules/@nuxt/cli/dist/cli-chunk2.js: options = (nuxtConfigFile.endsWith('.ts') ? require(nuxtConfigFile) : esm(module, esmOptions)(nuxtConfigFile)) || {};

And mapping it to the source code it seems to be here: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/dev/packages/cli/src/utils/config.js#L28

Apparently this is a known issue from the esm package (< v3.20.1) when used in conjuction with some other packages like stylelint or node-sass running on windows machines. The issue is described here: standard-things/esm#745

As stated in standard-things/esm#745 (comment), upgrading esm to 3.20.1 seems to fix the issue.

I tested upgrading the package locally in my machine and indeed the issue is gone.

_{This bug report is available on Nuxt community (#c9042)}

we cant update esm to anything higher than 3.20 because of standard-things/esm#773
So when a new version of esm will be released then we update
