Error with nuxi init . with pnpm

Environment

OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.22621 Build 22621
Node: 18.17.1
Terminal: Powershell Core 7.3.6
IDE: VSCode

I have been using pnpm nuxi init . inside the directory I want to create a nuxt project for, for a very long time.

Now I get this error:

Then inside that same created project, I executed pnpm nuxi init some-name, and it then created the project and installed the deps without error.

As I've have 2 issues related to node/nuxt related files (like lock files or node_modules) lying in the user profile directory, or in the root directory of my TypeScript projects, or any higher level directory from the project root, I am now in paranoid mode, so I checked if there were these files generated, the only file I found was a .npmrc in C:/Users/AngelHdz. I deleted it, executed pnpm nuxi init . inside C:/Users/AngelHdz/Documents/Programming/TypeScript/projects/nuxt-nitro-mongoose, and got the error again.

I'm very confident the issue is by using the dot . for the project name, and it used to work fine before the new feature of letting us select our preferred package manager:

Just to confirm this is only happening with nuxt, I went and executed pnpm create vue . (with the dot), it then asked me if I wanted it to delete all the files, because the directory was not empty (it had the nuxt project files), I told it Yes, and then it asked me for a package name, I added one and the project was created without errors.

I also can create a Nest project with nest new ., no errors.

Update

The issue keeps happening to this date.
Today I created a new project, but decided to choose npm instead of pnpm.

Everything went smooth, no error and the installation of deps was initiated and completed.

Apparently 3.8.2 (or any previous version) fixed it. Thanks. 💚🔥🎉
