Additional Information

👋 Hi there

I'm a maintainer of the create-vue project. Recently the support for Nighwatch has been added, which means Vue users can generate a project with Vue 3 and Nightwatch out of the box.

We're moving create-vue to Vite 5, which requires us to add type: module to the generated projects.
This change makes the TS versions of the projects generated with Nightwatch fail.
Is there a workaround for this behavior?

@cexbrayat Hi, we've made the necessary changes in Nightwatch, and with Nightwatch v3.3.4, it should now work with tests written in TS when type=module is set in package.json.

Can you please confirm at your end and make the necessary changes in create-vue project?

It looks like it does, thanks 👍
I'll update create-vue
