Debugging server utils not defined
For some reason I have an issue that all server utils dont seem to be available as types and at runtime as well.
It used to work fine before ( I have a a lot of server utils ).
Rather than a solution I would like to have some tips on how to debug the issue.
Attached are some of the errors I am getting when starting the dev server.

Hi @Markeem. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To debug the issue with server utils not being defined in your Nuxt project, here are some tips based on the knowledge sources provided:
1. Check your Nuxt version: Make sure you're using the latest stable version of Nuxt 3. Some issues may be resolved by updating to the latest version.
2. Enable sourcemaps: Sourcemaps can help with debugging. Enable them in your
nuxt.config.ts
file:
Docs: Debugging - Sourcemaps (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#sourcemaps)
3. Use Node Inspector: Start your Nuxt app in dev mode with the inspector enabled:
This will allow you to attach a debugger and set breakpoints in your server-side code.
Docs: Debugging with Node Inspector (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#debugging-with-node-inspector)
4. Configure your IDE for debugging: Set up your IDE to debug both client and server-side code. For example, if you're using VS Code, you can create a .vscode/launch.json
file with the following configuration:
Docs: Debugging in Your IDE (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#debugging-in-your-ide)
5. Check your utils
directory: Ensure that your server utils are placed in the correct directory. They should be in the server/utils
directory to be auto-imported in the server context.
Nitro Docs: Server Utils (https://nitro.unjs.io/guide/utils#utils-directory)
6. Verify import statements: If you're manually importing utils, make sure you're using the correct import path. For server utils, you might need to use the #build
alias:
However, be cautious as this might not work in all contexts, as mentioned in this GitHub issue (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/29302).
7. Run type checking: Use the nuxi typecheck
command to check for type errors in your project:
Docs: Type-checking (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/typescript#type-checking)
8. Create a minimal reproduction: If you're still unable to resolve the issue, create a minimal reproduction of the problem. This will help you isolate the issue and make it easier to get help from the Nuxt community or file a bug report if necessary.
Docs: Create a Minimal Reproduction (https://nuxt.com/docs/community/reporting-bugs#create-a-minimal-reproduction)
By following these steps, you should be able to debug and potentially resolve the issue with your server utils not being defined. If the problem persists, consider creating a minimal reproduction and seeking help from the Nuxt community or filing a bug report with the Nuxt team.

Has to be some dependency issue. Using an older lockfile solved the problem.
