bug './cli/utils' is not defined by "exports"

[Lysander086]

Issue Description

I encountered an issue when running khipster in my environment. The error message states that the package subpath ./cli/utils is not defined by "exports" in the package.json file of generator-jhipster-kotlin.

Environment Details

• OS: WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) running Ubuntu
• Node.js Version: v22.13.1
• NPM Version: 10.9.2
• KHipster Version: [email protected]
• Package Manager: pnpm
• (have also tried in Windows directly and also failed)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Installed generator-jhipster-kotlin using npm install -g generator-jhipster-kotlin
2. Ran the khipster command
3. The below error message appeared

Expected Behavior

khipster should run without encountering the ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED error.

Additional Information

It seems that ./cli/utils is missing from the "exports" field in package.json. This might be a compatibility issue with Node.js 22 or a misconfiguration in the package.

Would appreciate any insights or fixes for this issue. Thank you!

The docker running approach also failed with the below one.

The workaround of this issue is to switch to the version specified in the docker file.
use the node 14...

In Windows 11, I used nvm to switch to 14.
