Nuxt Generate does not produce images

Nuxt version: 2.15.3 @nuxt/image version: 0.4.4 target: ‘static’

I have been using the module in dev mode with no problems. However, when trying to generate a static site using nuxt generate no images are produced by @nuxt/image and all images on the site 404. The generated image URLs point to _ipx/IMAGE_PATH but this is not in the dist folder of the Nuxt project.

I have tried with a fresh Nuxt project with only @nuxt/image added and get exactly the same issue. Running nuxt generate produces no errors in the CLI and the site builds without a problem. The images are just not generated.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

For what it’s worth I was able to get it working on local dev with “npm run generate” and on Vercel with the following config:

buildModules: [
    // Next Image module https://image.nuxtjs.org/components/nuxt-img
    ['@nuxt/image', {
        provider: 'static',
        dir: "assets/images",
    }],
],

I can confirm as per @danielroe 's suggestions you need to have both ssr: true and target: static set in your nuxt.config.js for this to work. (Confirmed to be working with Vercel, Netlify and Layer0 and local development for static content.)

Someone should document this. (Shuffles away into the darkness).
