Reproduction

I have tried several different coding methods as start-up scripts and nothing has worked. I have set .env PORT=4000

nuxt.config.ts import { defineNuxtConfig } from “nuxt3”;

// https://v3.nuxtjs.org/docs/directory-structure/nuxt.config export default defineNuxtConfig({ typescript: { shim: false, },

server: { port: process.env.PORT || 4000, }, });

Describe the bug

Common methods for setting the port for Nuxt2 do not work in Nuxt3. Nuxt3 will only run on port:3000

I found it!!! I was looking in all the wrong places.

http://v3.nuxtjs.org/getting-started/commands options.server from nuxt.config is not supported. You can use --port, --host, --https, --ssl-cert and --ssl-key instead.

"scripts": { "dev": "nuxi dev --port 4000",

That doesn’t work. I get the error that PORT is not a recognized command. I also modified the dev to "scripts": { "dev": "PORT=4000 nuxi dev", same error.

I also found this example for a node server SET PORT=8080 && node server.js but I have tried this in several different combinations of things and still doesn’t work. No error, but the server doesn’t start.

<< or load it into your shell in some other way >> I have looked and don’t see any way to do this. I can check for an open or active port, but I can’t set one.

If there is no reasonable easy viable way to set the PORT during development? I would consider that a bug. Just saying.
