Hi,

I'm also getting this issue.

Have no idea how to debug this :-/

[ptdev]

Hey again,

So I've pinpointed the issue to this commit.

When using i18n, the content folder usually doesn't have an index file and instead we split it by language, so all the content folder has are subfolders for each language ( content/en, content/fr, etc).

That commit apparently tries to add a non-existing route to the prerender array, which in turn errors out.

Cheers

This broke production for us, because / was pre-rendered with staging configuration. What’s the best way to disable pre-rendering of /, or any HTML?

Switch to the Edge Channel, it was fixed there, after it's released outside, you can switch back to stable.

can't build in github actions but for some reason facing prerender error in latest version, however building works fine on my macbook m1 on node 20

[Yves852]

Facing a similar problem with one main of our projects. By upgrading @nuxt/content from 2.12.1 to 2.13.0 the build usually taking 1 minute on my PC will not reach end. On our gitlab instance it froze our dev branch deployement. Usually it built with 3 minutes, cancelling the task took 41 minutes.

Using @nuxtjs/i18n@8.3.1 and @nuxt/image@1.7.0 as well.

We are using a root content/ folder with markdown (also subsplitted by languages), json, and other files. As Nuxt V4 is changing the folder structure our way is probably not suitable anymore.

I will likely push back @nuxt/content updates until Nuxt V4 is out with a migration guide to figure out how Nuxt ecosystem is shaping on V4 and how to migrate everything accordingly.

Hi,

I am also using nuxt-content, nuxt-i18n and nuxt-image and have this issue fixed if I use the edge channel as suggested by @owljackob

I'm also using future { compatibilityVersion: 4 } that uses the new nuxt v4 folder structure.
The content folder remains outside the new "app" folder for v4 and works fine on our end.

Cheers

I think we experienced this also in https://github.com/nuxt-modules/tailwindcss - reverted in nuxt-modules/tailwindcss#867.

[andrzejkupczyk]

I’m not sure if this helps or is relevant, but I encountered a similar problem. Everything works perfectly fine locally, but there’s an issue with pre-rendering when deploying on Vercel Edge.

I’m kind of desperate because I’ve tried everything, including disabling nitro.prerender.failOnError, which partially “solved” the problem but introduced another issue.

I can confirm that downgrading @nuxt/content to 2.12.1 indeed helped 🎉

[farnabaz]

Should be fixed in v.2.13.1

[Yves852]

Fixed the problem for us thanks. 👍

[owljacob]

Resolved with v2.13.1.
