Describe the bug

In nuxt 3.6.0, nuxi generate && nuxi preview raises an error. In 3.5.3 it works fine.

Perhaps nuxi preview only supports build officially, but I hope it works with generate.

[danielroe]

There is a PR open to fix this upstream in nitro.

nitrojs/nitro#1342

[some-user123]

How can this be worked around?

[danielroe]

You can simply run npx serve .output/public to test your site locally.

[lukas-a-brand]

Still present in 3.6.1. [:
Thanks for the workaround hint @danielroe!

[danielroe]

Sorry, I should have made clearer that this is resolved on Nuxt's edge channel (which also uses nitropack-edge), or in Nitropack's next release.
