Description

The installation fails although zod is in my package.json:

$ bun install                                                                                                                           

bun install v1.2.22 (6bafe260)

$ nuxt prepare

Have you tried removing lock file and node_modules and re-install? I did clone your repository but seems to work fine. I use [email protected] and [email protected]

[dannote]

Yes, I did try removing the lock file and node_modules. I was also able to reproduce the issue in a new project (nuxt-content-reproduction). Maybe your Bun installation is finding zod somewhere outside the project's node_modules folder? I'll dig deeper and try to provide a better reproduction case.

[dannote]

@farnabaz I tried monkey-patching node_modules/@nuxt/content/dist/module.mjs:

async function initiateValidatorsContext() {
  if (await isPackageInstalled("valibot") && await isPackageInstalled("@valibot/to-json-schema")) {
    nuxtContentContext$1().set("valibot", await import('./chunks/valibot.mjs'));
  }
  if (await isPackageInstalled("zod")) {
    nuxtContentContext$1().set("zod3", await Promise.resolve().then(function () { return zod3; }));
    nuxtContentContext$1().set("zod4", await import('./chunks/zod4.mjs'));
  }

  // Here
  console.log(nuxtContentContext$1().get('zod4').toJSONSchema.toString())
}

And here is the console output:

bun install v1.2.22 (6bafe260)

$ nuxt prepare
function toJSONSchema(_schema, name) {                                                                                                                             8:55:36 PM
  const schema = _schema;
  try {
    const baseSchema = z.toJSONSchema(schema, {
      target: "draft-7",
      unrepresentable: "any",
      override: (ctx) => {
        const def = ctx.zodSchema._zod?.def;
        if (def?.type === "date") {
          ctx.jsonSchema.type = "string";
          ctx.jsonSchema.format = "date-time";
        }
        if (def?.$content) {
          ctx.jsonSchema.$content = def.$content;
        }
      }
    });
    const draft07Schema = {
      $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
      $ref: #/definitions/${name},
      definitions: {
        [name]: {
          type: baseSchema.type || "object",
          properties: baseSchema.properties || {},
          required: baseSchema.required || [],
          additionalProperties: typeof baseSchema.additionalProperties === "boolean" ? baseSchema.additionalProperties : false
        }
      }
    };
    return draft07Schema;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(
      "Zod toJSONSchema error for schema:",
      schema.constructor.name,
      error
    );
    return {
      $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
      $ref: #/definitions/${name},
      definitions: {
        [name]: {
          type: "object",
          properties: {},
          required: [],
          additionalProperties: false
        }
      }
    };
  }
}

It looks like Zod v4 is loaded, but the context is being overwritten by the default placeholder values.

@dannote Could you try this monkey-patch: I suspect hat context is not shared between module and content.config.ts and therefore raise error.

Also how do you run the project? bun dev or bun --bun dev?

// Line 225 in node_modules/@nuxt/content/dist/module.mjs

ctx.set(nuxtContentContext);
// const nuxtContentContext$1 = ctx.use; // Comment this line and add below lines
globalThis.nuxtContentContext = globalThis.nuxtContentContext || nuxtContentContext;
const nuxtContentContext$1 = () => ({
  set: (key, value) => {
    nuxtContentContext[key] = value;
  },
  get: (key) => {
    return nuxtContentContext[key];
  }
})

@farnabaz

Also how do you run the project? bun dev or bun –bun dev?

I run bun install, which in turn runs nuxt prepare. I also tried bunx --bun nuxt prepare now, and that worked, but bunx nuxt prepare fails with the same error as before ("It seems you are using Zod version 4...").

Could you try this monkey-patch

I tried it, but I still get the same error.

[lukasborawski]

Hi. I'm encountering the same issue, on pnpm and Node v22.17.0. Working with Turborepo, but the dependency is installed close to the content app.

@dannote Sorry for late response, If it works fine with bun --bun ... command as you said, it is not module's issue. In order to make sure that Nuxt runs inside bun environments you need to use --bun flag. Checkout Bun's official docs about Nuxt https://bun.com/docs/guides/ecosystem/nuxt

@lukasborawski Could you provide a reproduction for this issue, I believe it is different issue and not related to current one.
