since nuxt 3.12.2: regression generating without pages/index.vue: `Error: [404] Page not found: /`

Same issue here, but our case is quite different. We have a middleware that redirects path / to /home for example, adding page/index.vue works on route correction, but for some reason, nuxt could not initialized properly, such as runtime public configs went missing + client-side plugins were not registered.

[BananaAcid]

The project is going to be placed on a php hoster (that is the reason for generate), where the index.php is already occupied by the main website (that is the reason, why the change is hurtful).

[BananaAcid]

A crude FIX:

1. add an empty pages/index.vue,
2. generate, and
3. remove the index.html before generating the next project/deployment.

or: downgrade nuxt

Apologies for this. We will be able to revert this when we upgrade nitro to the next version.

In the mean time you should be able to use the nitro prerender:routes hook to remove the index route.

@danielroe there seems to be an additional problem. Using:

{
    nitro: {
        prerender: {
            crawlLinks: false,
            // ignore: ['/'], -- how to address index? using this, no route will be generated anymore
            routes: ['/about'],
        },
    }
}

it will always generate a html file: 200.html

Unfortunately, crawlLiks:false will not "validate" any links anymore, but ignore:['/'] will just block any route defined in routes:[].

... can this 200.html be blocked? Or the index be targeted better?

Trying to filter a '/' or alike from the hooks's ctx.routes does not work for me. Any advice on how to use it in my case? (I can't seem to find out what could work)

trying

{nitro:
        prerender: {
            crawlLinks: true,
            routes: ['/about'],
        },
         hooks: {
            "prerender:generate"(route) {
                if (route.route === '/' || route.route === '/200.html') {
                    route.skip = true;
                }
            },
        },
}

I get (without index.vue):

  ├─ / (507ms)                                                                                                                                                                                           
  └── Error: [404] Page not found: / (skipped)

is this supposed to trigger an abort error, even thought I filtered it to skip ?

[danielroe]

Here's a workaround for now:

import { useNitro } from '@nuxt/kit'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devtools: { enabled: true },
  hooks: {
    'build:done'() {
      useNitro().hooks.hook('prerender:routes', (routes) => {
        routes.delete('/')
      })
    }
  },
})
