Fixed it by running:
npm init slidev@0.29.2

no luck with:
0.39.0
0.40.12
0.40.13 (latest)

I have an "old" version that is working with slidev 0.40.5
If I remove package-lock and npm install then it's not working anymore.
It might be related to some dependencies and not related to slidev itself...

It seems to be caused by Vite 4.3 because of vitejs/vite#12450

Looking into it

[lihbr]

Temporary fix for users, you can explicitly declare Vite as a dependency of the project to force its resolution to an older version:

"devDependencies": {
	"vite": "2.2.2"
}

Edit: Just use the latest release for a real fix, ^0.40.14

[antfu]

Fixed with ^0.40.14

Awesome, thank you for the quick action @antfu!
