Describe the bug
Here is my monorepo structure:
I created a monorepo with npm workspaces and extended apps in the portal(main app) thanks to nuxt layers. Everything works as expected in production mode but not in dev mode?
When I run the project in dev mode, I do not receive any errors. It stays on the nuxt loading screen and the computer starts to heat up seriously and the fans become loud, probably a memory problem.
I have a decent laptop, according to my research, this problem occurs because the node_modules location changes when using monorepo. I applied dozens of solutions for this, but none of them worked.

So it requires deeper investigation but again it’s not Nuxt issue 😃
Yep. It works in this case. At least it can render the 404 page 😃

Oh, thank you! ❤️
True. I tried to isolate everything and make it as simple as possible. Let me check again your repro. I don’t think it’s windi
You are amazing mate, you put in a lot of effort! 😃 I installed pnpm while you were working on this and applied it to the current project, the problem is the same, I think we are looking in the wrong place. There are so many things missing in your example such as windiCSS. I’m starting to think maybe windiCSS is causing a problem?
Yep. It’s possible in
npmas well. https://github.com/theguriev/monorepo-explanation/pull/1Have fun 😃
So it’s definitely no Nuxt issue. 😃
Let me check if it’s possible with npm workspaces. I believe it is but not sure 😃
Few mins…
Here it is.
Just run this in terminal and open http://localhost:3000/first-ui
Well yes. Looks like there is an infinite loop when it’s try to resolve aliases. #portal is trying to resolve #first-ui and #first-ui has some links to the #portal. It’s a never-ending cycle. I’ll prepare a minimal repro with fix in few minutes.
