configure whether dist symlink is created when generating

[NozomuIkuta]

Environment

It's not environment-specific issue (see below).

Reproduction

This bug can't be reproduced by demo, but it's degradation in nuxt.config.js.

Describe the bug

While it is configurable which directory Nuxt generate app into (i.e. generate.dir option in nuxt.config.js), it comes to be hard-corded and unconfigurable in Nuxt 3.

Related: generate hooks are not implemented as well (#4698)

If you want to configure the folder into which the generated files are placed, you can set it in nitro.output.publicDir.

The line you've mentioned adds a hard-coded symlink to that one (and IIRC, is really a workaround).
