Node.js v18.18.1
I'm not sure if this helps

from nx.

For the Cannot find module 'ansi-styles' error, it might be how the packages are hoisted by npm. Can you run npm ls ansi-styles and paste the result?

Also, can you remove node_modules and reinstall to see if the error goes away?

For the ESM subsequent error, do you have "type": "module" set in package.json? If that is set, then Node will load ESM rather than CJS.

thanks for the suggestion. removing node_modules didn't work for me. But creating a new workspace with yarn worked. I think it was an npm problem
