What you expected to happen:
Everything must work perfectly

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

1. Write code:

//index.ts
import { consola } from 'consola';

async function main() {
	let urname = await consola.prompt('What is your name?', {
		placeholder: 'John',
	});
	if (!urname) urname = 'John';
	consola.box(`Hello, ${urname}!`);
}

consola.info(`Hello Sekai!`);
main();

2. do tsc index.ts
3. do nexe index.js --target windows-x64-14.15.3
4. open generated exe file
5. you can see error log

Anything else we need to know?:

nothing

• Platform(OS/Version): Windows 11 (AtlasOS v0.4.0)
• Host Node Version: v21.2.0

Hello, i have the same issue, Error: Cannot find module 'node:util' but with another library: .\node_modules\sharp\lib\constructor.js

Have you found any solution yet?

[ringo360]

Nah, I can't find any solution 😢
Probably, consola depends on node:utils.

@ringo360

The source code needs to be bundled, including its dependencies, into a single JavaScript file.

Example by esbuild:

esbuild index.ts --bundle --minify --platform=node --target=node14.17.0 --outdir=dist
nexe dist/index.js --target windows-x64-14.15.3

[ringo360]

Thanks, I'll try that!

[ringo360]

It works! thank you @mikoto2000 🩵
