Fresh Nuxt 3 install on Vercel: The package "esbuild-linux-64" could not be found

[birdlavv]

Reproduction:

Repo: https://github.com/birdlavv/vue-email-reproduction
Vercel deploy: https://vue-email-repro.vercel.app/api/test

The reproduction was made by

1. Creating a blank Nuxt 3 project
2. Installing vue-email
3. Adding WelcomeEmail.vue
4. Adding /api/test.ts

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const template = await useCompiler('WelcomeEmail.vue')
  return template
})

Any assistance/insight into what is causing this would be greatly appreciated.

@birdlavv Hi! Thanks for sharing your feedback, i've a couple of questions... It just broke on deployment? It works on development?

[birdlavv]

Yes @Dave136 , it works as expected in development but breaks at deployment runtime. There don't seem to be any build warnings or errors. I do not yet know if this is a cross-platform error or if it is specific to Vercel deployments.

@birdlavv I test the nuxt implementation, npm and yarn throw error, it seems it's a issue with esbuild.

I suggest you use pnpm, it resolves as well.

I created a repo, where i tested the functionalities, open the terminal, click the button and you can see the result.

Here i left you the repo and production link:

• Repo github
• Prod working example

I can confirm that using pnpm as a workaround works on Vercel.
Thanks, @Dave136!

Hi guys, how do you get Vercel to use pnpm? Will the presence of a pnmp-lock suffice?

EDIT:
It would appear so https://vercel.com/changelog/projects-using-pnpm-can-now-be-deployed-with-zero-configuration
