@revzn the solution is probably here #1

I was having the same problem on windows. My path got D:\D:\ after resolve so I fixed with this regex. path.resolve(...).replace(/^(\w:\\)(\w:\\)/, '$2')

it's been answered in #2 (comment)

const templateDir = path.resolve(
    new URL(currentFileUrl).pathname.substring(new URL(currentFileUrl).pathname.indexOf('/')+1),
    '../../templates',
    options.template.toLowerCase()
  );

Sorry for the radio silence. I ported the fix into the repo as requested in #1 but I had to drop the +1 in it because that turns the path from absolute to relative on Unix/macOS systems. This should still make it work in Windows but I don't have a setup to try it on yet (working on that). So please let me know if this worked :)

Unfortunately, this fix for path building is not working on Windows. Still getting same error.
I am using os.platform() to build the paths conditionally in combination with the solution of @andersonAlmeida

const fullPathName = new URL(import.meta.url).pathname;
let templateDir;
templateDir = path.resolve(
    fullPathName, 
    '../../templates', 
    options.template.toLowerCase()
);
 // Fix path building for Windows
 if(os.platform() == 'win32') {
   templateDir = templateDir.replace(/^(\w:\\)(\w:\\)/, '$2');
 }
 options.templateDirectory = templateDir;

@tertek thank you! This works.

A quick note for those new to Node—you have to include

// Require os module
const os = require('os');
