Concise Description

When executing the npm run build command it completes successfully, however it shows multiple times the following message: Rendering pages⠋ Rendering pages /Error: usePageFrontmatter() is called without provider. at usePageFrontmatter (C:\code\vue-press-poc\src\.vuepress\.temp\.server\app.js:309:11) at setupSidebarItems (C:\code\vue-press-poc\src\.vuepress\.temp\.server\app.js:1806:23) at Object.setup (C:\code\vue-press-poc\src\.vuepress\.temp\.server\app.js:2606:5) at setup (C:\code\vue-press-poc\src\.vuepress\.temp\.server\app.js:2749:59) at callWithErrorHandling (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vue\runtime-core\dist\runtime-core.cjs.prod.js:119:22) at setupStatefulComponent (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vue\runtime-core\dist\runtime-core.cjs.prod.js:5783:29) at setupComponent (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vue\runtime-core\dist\runtime-core.cjs.prod.js:5764:11) at renderComponentVNode (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vue\server-renderer\dist\server-renderer.cjs.prod.js:169:17) at Object.renderToString (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vue\server-renderer\dist\server-renderer.cjs.prod.js:443:26) at renderPage (C:\code\vue-press-poc\node_modules\@vuepress\bundler-vite\lib\build\renderPage.js:20:63)

As a result the site won’t show. Using the npm run dev command does not show the messages and the site does show in the browser. Occasionally the console shows the same error though and usually a page refresh fixes this.

@mveenman @zhang13pro Hi, the latest theme version (2.0.0-alpha.24) should be compatible with VuePress v2.0.0-beta.46, please have a try. Thanks!

@Renovamen tested an can confirm this worked. I’ve also added an engines section to my package.json in order to make the CI/CD pipeline use at least Node version 15. Closing the bug, thank you for the support.
