Reproduction

I'm not sure exactly what triggered this, I installed the following dependencies and then everything broke:

npm install @heroicons/vue@latest
npm install @headlessui/vue

Describe the bug

npm run dev no longer works, so as any other command, including trying to create a new nuxt project with npx nuxi@latest init workspace-notes-2. Getting the following error:

 ERROR  Missing internal module 'internal/deps/node:stream'                                                                                                                           9:52:53 PM

Additional context

Here is what I tried to fix it:

• Removing node-modules and package-lock.json and running npm install
• Reinstalling node and npm

From the end of the full error report:

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've hit the same bug on unrelated react project.

Quickly checking nuxi dist, we don't generate deps/node:stream anywhere. It seems a Node.js related bug fixing by upgrading to v20.9.0. (google/clasp#985 (comment))

In case you are still experiencing issue even after upgrading Node.js, please ping me to investigate ideally with a reproduction.
