runCommand ignores cwd argument on versions after 3.6

[mandarini]

Here is my reproduction repository: https://github.com/mandarini/nuxi-bug

Using "nuxi": "^3.9.1" and runCommand("dev", ["my-nuxt-app"]), runCommand ignores the name of the project (the directory), and runs the command in the root directory.

I would expect this to work exactly like running:

npx nuxi dev my-nuxt-app

If you run the above command, you will see that it works as expected.

If you run

npx tsx run-nuxt.ts

you will see that it does not pick up the directory, and runs the command in the root directory, it shows the default Nuxt template, instead of "Hello from Katerina".

More info in the README of my reproduction repository.

At Nx we will be using version 3.6.5, which is before citty was introduced. Same version is used by @nxext/nuxt plugin.

I think that there's an issue with citty losing some arguments in this case. But maybe I am wrong.

Thanks for reporting issue.

It seems an issue with programmatic API not applying current root dir to the forked process.

As a solution, you might pass --no-fork argument:

await runCommand('dev', ['playground', '--no-fork'])

Resolved in nuxi-nightly and next release.

Wow THANK YOU!

@pi0

when I use --no-fork I get the following error:

I'll try the nuxi-nightly and see!

@pi0 YES using "nuxi": "npm:nuxi-nightly@latest" works! THANKS!
