Describe the bug

Server api routes that return undefined or nothing at all will run, but the server will return an error that does not help finding the issue:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  try {
    console.log('resetPassword')
    return
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('reset password error', { error })
    return sendError(event, createError({
      ...error,
      statusMessage: error.message,
    }))
  }
})

to fix the issue you need to use event.res.end(), return null or anything else.

While I feel DX could be improved here (ran into that also a few times), it makes sense because they then technically act as middleware.

Your route needs to return something. Where you are running console.log, try returning some form of JSON encodable value and it should work.
By default, all routes will return a 404 even if they exist so long as they don't return anything.

The 404 is a massive red herring. There needs to be a more descriptive error message raised for undefined returns.
