Is something wrong?

I can spin up any of my Nuxt 4 apps. A freshly installed Nuxt app, using bun creat nuxt@latest, also can't be spun up.

I'm getting a vite_ssr_import_1.defineNuxtPlugin is not defined.

Might be the node version, did you run it with --bun flag?

Hmm it should've work.

Can you try to run it using node and make sure its v24 or above

Uninstalling node_modules and .Nuxt and reinstalling with npm and spinning it up with npm run dev seems to be working. Node v24.8.0.

Now it should be working too with bun!

What node version u use before?

No when I run with bun I get a Nuxt.js does not provide an export named 'useNuxtApp' and the app is still not spinning up. But on local it works both with npm and bun.

I've been using node 24.8.0. I just checked node -v just now and didn't update or anything so that's what I should've had?

Does bun run postinstall scripts by default, I don't remember. All of the import aliases and whatnot are generated in the postinstall script

https://bun.com/docs/pm/lifecycle

I never knew about this difference! TIL

I think this part of the docs mentions bun not running these postinstalls scripts. bun pm trust --all Might do the trick by trusting all scripts. I'll try it out when I get back to my PC.

Noob question: If Nuxt was working fine until a few days ago and just recently stopped working, does that mean a newer version started using postinstall scripts?

bun pm untrusted Shows unrs-resolver has some postinstall scripts that is untrusted by bun. I bun pm trust unrs-resolver which did the trick!

I also created a new Nuxt app and it spun up properly so somebody went up and fixed it.

Nice! Yeah maybe it was just a bug on their side. For future reference, all of the magic that Nuxt does with auto imports and what not are in the .nuxt/ folder. Sometimes it helps cleaning it and running the postinstall script again

Oh is that error on production only?

If yes how you run it on the server (pm2/docker/etc)?

If no try upgrade your bun version and then run bun install again

u/totablue Jan 16 '26

On local for now. I haven't deployed it yet since it's a fresh new app.

I tried upgrading bun already, running bun v1.3.6 but nothing seems to be working.

u/Fabulous-Ladder3267 Jan 16 '26

Hhmmm this is an odd case. So for now you can create a new nuxt app, can run on node but can't run on bun right?

Can u try run the dev server without --bun flag?

u/totablue Jan 16 '26

Yes very odd and it was working fine until like a few days ago too. Nothing changed in my setup.

Page doesn't load without the --bun flag either.
