Reproduction

import {defineNuxtConfig} from 'nuxt'

// https://v3.nuxtjs.org/api/configuration/nuxt.config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  preset: "netlify",
  ssr: false,
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      routes: [
        '/blog'
      ]
    }
  },
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/tailwindcss'
  ]
})

Hint: tried it with ssr: true and false

sample component:

<template>
  <fetch-method-layout name="useLazyFetch()">
      <ul>
        <li v-for="post in posts">{{ post.name }}</li>
      </ul>
  </fetch-method-layout>
</template>

<script setup>

import FetchMethodLayout from "../layouts/FetchMethodLayout";

const {data: posts, pending, error, refresh} = useLazyFetch('/api/posts')

</script>

<style scoped>

</style>

posts.get.ts

// @ts-ignore
export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve({
        posts: [
          {
            "name": "First Post"
          },
          {
            "name": "Second Post"
          },
          {
            "name": "Third Post"
          }
        ]
      })
    }, 0)
  })
})

Describe the bug

Can’t run nuxi build, generate or serve anymore without errors.

Cannot make any sense of the exceptions.

The API is working when I call it directly, the pages are not

Additional context

No response

@danielroe I haven’t faced this issue anymore since then and couldn’t reproduce it anymore. I had this issue as well https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/1297#issuecomment-1159518380 and maybe they were related somehow.

In case I’ll see it again, I’ll come back to this issue
