I am trying to add my local custom Nuxt module to my Nuxt application and I keep getting the error:
Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined

I require 'path' as below in module.js of my Nuxt module:
const { resolve, join } = require('path')
const { readdirSync } = require('fs')It displays a list of files that has startsWith(). For instance:
node_modules@nuxt\utils\dist\utils.js:
const startsWithAlias = aliasArray => str => aliasArray.some(c => str.startsWith(c));
...
const isWindows = process.platform.startsWith('win');
...
if (r.path && r.path.startsWith('/')) {
routes.push(r.path);
} else if (route !== '/' && route[route.length - 1] === '/') {
routes.push(route.slice(0, -1));
} else {
routes.push(route);
}
...
const sanitizedKey = key.startsWith('_') ? key.substr(1) : key;
...
if (key.startsWith('_') && key.length > 1) {
route.path += '?';
}
...
if (
dir1 &&
dir2 &&
(
dir1 === dir2 ||
(
dir1.startsWith(dir2) &&
!path__default['default'].basename(dir1).startsWith(path__default['default'].basename(dir2))
)
)
) {
...
if (key.startsWith('_')) {
return `:${key.substr(1)}`
}
Looks like it might be trying to initialise the module on the client so it's not recognising node specific code.
If by chance you're using the nuxt-vite package for nuxt 2, this could potentially be why as I don't think vite-plugin-vue2 which it uses works with SSR yet.
* I understand that may be a weird mix of vague and specific, but going off the question it looks very similar to an issue my teammate had when looking into nuxt-vite. Also, judging by the stack trace it's failing before it even properly gets in to the module.
