Research direction

Start by inspecting @nuxt/icon/dist/runtime/plugin.js at line 16 and the generated .nuxt/plugins/server.mjs stack entry, then compare the module versions and nuxt.config.ts settings described in the report. Reproduce the startup failure and identify the dependency or configuration combination causing the undefined provider; done means the Nuxt app starts without this error.

Reproduction

I haven't changed the code itself, but uninstalled some dependencies and updated everything to latest.

Modules used:

  modules: [
    "@unocss/nuxt",
    "@nuxt/content",
    "@vueuse/nuxt",
    "@nuxt/fonts",
    // @ts-ignore
    "@nuxtjs/seo",
    "@nuxt/icon",
    "nuxt-umami"
  ],

Dependencies upgraded:

Transitive deps of "@nuxt/icon"

I've tried it with and without the icon config in nuxt.config.ts with no effect

Describe the bug

I`m suddenly getting this error after upgrading a few dependencies and the site is not loading anymore.
