Node 20 not supporting prepack script (Module Author)

[leopradac]

Environment

• Operating System: Darwin
• Node Version: v20.11.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.11.2
• CLI Version: 3.11.1
• Nitro Version: 2.9.6
• Package Manager: npm@10.2.4
• Builder: -
• User Config: -
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: -

Reproduction

I will use npm as a sample, feel free to replicate it with yarn, pnpm, or bun.

Following the Module Author Guide:

npx nuxi init -t module my-module
once it is finished

npm run dev:prepare
npm run prepack

It will retrieve

ℹ Building my-module
ℹ Cleaning dist directory: ./dist

And that's it, it gets stuck there.

It happens to me while

• using nuxt, @nuxt-kit, @nuxt-schema at "3.11.2"
• node 20

Those facing the same issue so far the only workaround for me was switching to node18.

Describe the bug

prepack script (module build) gets stuck while cleaning dist directory

Additional context

Already been tested in MacOS and Ubuntu.
Also tried two Node20 versions: v20.13.1 and v20.11.0.
Switched to Node v18.20.3 with the exact same project and works perfectly fine.

Logs

ℹ Building my-module
ℹ Cleaning dist directory: ./dist

Would you be able to provide a reproduction? 🙏

More info

Why do I need to provide a reproduction?

Reproductions make it possible for us to triage and fix issues quickly with a relatively small team. It helps us discover the source of the problem, and also can reveal assumptions you or we might be making.

What will happen?

If you've provided a reproduction, we'll remove the label and try to reproduce the issue. If we can, we'll mark it as a bug and prioritize it based on its severity and how many people we think it might affect.

If needs reproduction labeled issues don't receive any substantial activity (e.g., new comments featuring a reproduction link), we'll close them. That's not because we don't care! At any point, feel free to comment with a reproduction and we'll reopen it.

How can I create a reproduction?

We have a couple of templates for starting with a minimal reproduction:

👉 https://stackblitz.com/github/nuxt/starter/tree/v3-stackblitz
👉 https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt/starter/v3-codesandbox

A public GitHub repository is also perfect. 👌

Please ensure that the reproduction is as minimal as possible. See more details in our guide.

I'm experiencing the same issue, here is a fresh project on stackblitz for reproduction

[userquin]

try adding nuxt-module-build prepare && to the prepack script:
"prepack": "nuxt-module-build prepare && nuxt-module-build build",

Is someone experiencing an issue even after running dev:prepare? And if so do you have the updated tsconfig.json here and the updated dev:prepare script?
