Debugging server utils not defined

Markeem · 2024-12-03T10:55:18.958Z

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.

To debug the issue with server utils not being defined in your Nuxt project, here are some tips based on the knowledge sources provided:

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.
Enable sourcemaps: Sourcemaps can help with debugging. Enable them in your
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
nuxt.config.ts
file:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     sourcemap: {
       server: true,
       client: true
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     sourcemap: {
       server: true,
       client: true
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     sourcemap: {
       server: true,
       client: true
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     sourcemap: {
       server: true,
       client: true
     }
   })

Docs: Debugging - Sourcemaps (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#sourcemaps)

Use Node Inspector: Start your Nuxt app in dev mode with the inspector enabled:

   nuxi dev --inspect

   nuxi dev --inspect

   nuxi dev --inspect

   nuxi dev --inspect

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)

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
```
.vscode/launch.json
```
.vscode/launch.json
```
.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)

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>)
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:

   import { yourUtil } from '#build/server/utils/your-util'

   import { yourUtil } from '#build/server/utils/your-util'

   import { yourUtil } from '#build/server/utils/your-util'

   import { yourUtil } from '#build/server/utils/your-util'

However, be cautious as this might not work in all contexts, as mentioned in this GitHub issue (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/29302).

Run type checking: Use the
```
nuxi typecheck
```
nuxi typecheck
```
nuxi typecheck
```
nuxi typecheck
command to check for type errors in your project:

   npx nuxi typecheck

   npx nuxi typecheck

   npx nuxi typecheck

   npx nuxi typecheck

Docs: Type-checking (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/typescript#type-checking)

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.
