Hi! On Windows, when running

bun x convex dev

bun x convex dev

I get this error

Test action:

import { action } from "./_generated/server";
import { v } from "convex/values";

export const testSimpleAction = action({
    args: {
        jarPath: v.optional(v.string()),
        onOutput: v.optional(v.string())
    },
    handler: async (ctx, args) => {
        return { success: true, message: "Hello from Node.js action!" };
    },
});

import { action } from "./_generated/server";
import { v } from "convex/values";

export const testSimpleAction = action({
    args: {
        jarPath: v.optional(v.string()),
        onOutput: v.optional(v.string())
    },
    handler: async (ctx, args) => {
        return { success: true, message: "Hello from Node.js action!" };
    },
});

Error: 7/21/2025, 9:10:00 PM [CONVEX A(simpleAction:testSimpleAction)] Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data, and node are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:'
