Expected behavior
I'm expecting the same thing to happen with a JavaScript project, which is compiling for and running the development server.

I have tried deleting the dist directory, but that doesn't fix it.

@jvdeijnden It is not reproducible, I've setup a project with exactly same options you selected (using npx create-nuxt-app test), and npm run build & npm run dev work both fine.

If you find a reproduction, please submit it around the https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app repository.

I'm facing the same issue. I would guess it is related to TypeScript.

Same issue with nuxt-ts only, nuxt works fine

It should have been fixed with [email protected], following nuxt/create-nuxt-app#568 which fixed an issue regarding wrong package.json dev script.
