Nuxt 4 + tailwindcss + directus gettng error "500 Cannot redefine property: _path"
So I'm trying to do a project in Nuxt 4, and I got a problem when I try to edit any CSS element. It just crashes to 500 Cannot redefine property: _path I tried changing node version because I found one user changed his version from node 20 to 24, and it fixed it, but I tried the same and still nothing
error 500:
Cannot redefine property: _path

Hi @MutiranaKornjaca. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain any explicit information about the "500 Cannot redefine property: _path" error in the context of Nuxt 4, Tailwind CSS, and Directus. There are no references to this specific error or its resolution in the available documents.
If you are encountering this error when editing CSS and it triggers a crash, it may be related to a deeper issue in your middleware or build process, but without more details or a direct mention in the sources, I cannot provide a confident solution.
If you have more context or a minimal reproduction, you might consider opening an issue on the Nuxt GitHub repository or searching for similar issues there, as this type of error could be environment-specific or related to a particular combination of modules or middleware.
