Build error with @nuxthub/core on Nuxt 4 — Rollup "default" is not exported by node:path?commonjs-external #671

Description

@tapitapeh

Describe the bug
Build fails for a fresh Nuxt 4 project after adding nuxthub/core, even when not enabling the database.

Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new Nuxt 4 project
npm create nuxt@latest
  1. Add Nuxthub and wrangler
npx nuxi module add hub
pnpm add -D wrangler
  1. (Option A) Enable database in nuxt.config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hub: { database: true }
})

or
(Option B) Simply include @nuxthub/core in modules without enabling the database.

  1. Build
npm run build
  1. See error

Expected behavior
The project should build successfully with Nitro (Cloudflare Pages preset), regardless of whether hub: { database: true } is enabled.

Additional context

  • The error sometimes occurs even without enabling hub.database, just by including @nuxthub/core in modules.
  • The error path references anymatch → picomatch → node:path commonjs external. Might be an ESM/CJS interop issue in the Cloudflare Pages/Nitro/rollup pipeline with certain dependency versions.
  • No database migrations present (as expected for fresh project).
