I believe that these are all related: https://github.com/nuxt/framework/issues/4330 https://github.com/nuxt/framework/issues/4350 https://github.com/nuxt/framework/issues/4256 https://github.com/nuxt/framework/issues/4232

The issue is present for nuxt generate, nuxi generate, and nuxi build with target: static. However is isn’t present when building using the following settings in nuxt.config.

nitro: {
    preset: 'nitro-prerender',
  }

This setting doesn’t work using nuxi dev however. When running dev, this error is shown:

Error: [worker] exited
    at Worker. (file:///C:/Users/Fraser/Websites/2022/nuxt3-test/node_modules/nitropack/dist/chunks/prerender.mjs:2038:14)
    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:520:26)

To view the issue, please see this repo: https://github.com/mctweb/nuxt3-example

I’ve run the different commands and commited them to different branches. The output files have been included. Please see the Readmes for relevant error messages.

This should be resolved in the latest nitropack. Let me know if not and I can reopen.
