Which project does this relate to?

Start

Describe the bug

This is my first time trying out tanstack start and I run into an issue trying to run the app with pnpm dev.

I chose AI, DB, Form, Query and I also chose Netlify

Here are the logs:

Initially looks like everything is ok

❯ pnpm dev

> tanstack-experiments@ dev /Users/aalmacin/Projects/tanstack-experiments
> vite dev --port 3000

But I am getting {"status":500,"unhandled":true,"message":"HTTPError"} on the browser when I tried to open http://localhost:3000/. On the terminal it shows:

Additional context

No response

Reproduisez l’application générée avec pnpm create @tanstack/start@latest, en sélectionnant Netlify ainsi que AI, DB, Form et Query, puis exécutez pnpm dev. Commencez à src/components/demo-AIAssistant.tsx:82 et suivez l’appel useStore qui échoue pendant le rendu côté serveur ; c’est terminé lorsque la page d’accueil d’exemple se charge sans le TypeError.
