I experienced a similar error when trying to start my nuxt project.

For those that might have a similar issue, check to see if it's not caused by one of your dependencies. In my case it happened because fibers ^5.0.0 cannot run on node 16+ yet. So the fix for me was to temporarily downgrade node from 16.3 to 15.14.
