devtools relies on execa, which requires node 20+

[MickL]

Environment

With 3.16.0 I am getting the following error with a blank project created with bun create nuxt, as well as with all of my in-production projects:

	[error] The requested module 'node:events' does not provide an export named 'addAbortListener'
	  import {addAbortListener} from 'node:events';
	  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some investigation:

It is an incompatibility with outdated Node.js 18 from cloudflare pages CI (nodejs@18.17.1) that lacks export (used by execa in nuxt applications)

execa used by @nuxt/devtools-kit /cc @antfu maybe it can migrate to tiny-exec?

[MickL]

Workaround for now: You can either create a file .nvmrc in your root OR add an env variable NODE_VERSION with the content v20 or v22 (latest LTS)

[antfu]

Oh sorry for the troubles, I will downgrade the execa than. While I'd love to migrate to tinyexec, unfortunately, that execa is part of our public API for modules, and tinyexec is not compatible with that.
