Running npm run build in the blog starter kit leads to an ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME error when run on windows

[Pakkanen1]

I wanted to test out how to create a blog with Rocket, but it seems running npm run build leads to an error with absolute paths on windows. I couldn't find any specific info about Rocket not supporting windows so I'm assuming it would. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/modernweb-dev/rocket/tree/main/examples/02-blog-starter

OS: Windows 10 (Build 19044.2130)
Node: 18.12.0
npm: 8.19.2

Steps to reproduce:

1. run npx @rocket/create@latest --template 02-blog-starter in an empty folder
2. navigate to that folder and run npm install
3. run npm run build
   Error:

C:\gitnation\dndblog\rocket-02-blog-starter>npm run build

> [email protected] build
> rocket build

node:internal/errors:484
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:'

}

Node.js v18.12.0

As a sidenote, I also needed to delete the .degit folder just to get npx @rocket/create@latest to work. The NODE_DEBUG environment variable also doesn't work when running npm run start but changing it to SET NODE_DEBUG seems to help.
