How to build full static with Bridge + Nitro ?

[gnuletik]

Hi !
I'm currently trying to migrate a website to Nuxt Bridge with Nitro and stumbling on making a full static build.

When running nuxi generate, Nitro seems to build for SSR :

$ nuxi generate
...
ℹ Full static generation activated
ℹ Nitro preset is server
...

$ ls .output
nitro.json  public  server

No dist/ directory is created so I tried to run http-server .output/public but I get 404 responses when the browser attempts to load payload.json files.

The only way to get a static build was to disable nitro

// nuxt.config.ts
...
bridge: {
  nitro: false
}
...

It seems that another user have the issue.

NB: I made these tests on Nuxt CLI v3.0.0-27369360.33ebb01

Was someone able to produce a static build with Nitro ?

Thanks!

I am having the same issue right now. This is the main feature I use nuxt for so would be grateful for a solution / any tips.

For my current projects, I finally did not upgrade after several attempts.
You may also lose IE11 support while upgrading to Nuxt Bridge, see nuxt-community/composition-api#585

I too had problems running nuxi generate with Nuxt 2 + Nuxt Bridge. I managed to work around a few of them, but the missing payload.js bundles was the last straw and I'm currently reverting to Nuxt 2 (v2.15.x). Hopefully others can see this thread and save themselves some time.
