Reproduction

its a pretty big project, It always worked fine and all I did before this happened was running npm install

Describe the bug

When using my nuxt site using a different domain navigating to other pages stops working

when I build my site and upload it to azure it comes available on multiple domains

1. the azure domain (Site works fine here)
2. Our domain with a special subdomain (usually its help.domain.app)

On our subdomain the website navigation stops working and spits out the following error:

No response

I ran into the same issue. It works fine in Nuxt version 3.6.1. I think it's caused by this PR: #21860

[danielroe]

You can probably work around this by adding:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: false
  }
})

This should be properly resolved with #21370.

Other context: #15024.

This did fix the warning message, but it did not fix the navigation issue. I still get redirected back to "/". It seems like this only applies to routes with multiple childeren. Normal routes without childeren works or routes with only 1 child works fine.

[danielroe]

In that case, would you provide a reproduction? 🙏

[danielroe]

possibly same issue as #22072

possibly same issue as #22072

at least the workaround (experimental.payloadExtraction: false) did not work for #22072

Experienced this when attempting to deploy a fully static site with payload extraction.

Downgrade to 3.6.1 fixed it for me.

What I’ve found out is that since v3.6.2 we need to explicitly set experimental.payloadExtraction to true. Otherwise the _payload.json files are not generated (in SSG mode).

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: true
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: true
  }
})

That fixes it for me 🙏🏽

[danielroe]

Would you try with the latest v3.6.3?

Had the issue with v3.6.3

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: true
  }
})

This fixed it for me too! thanks a lot!

I think the problem is that after #21860, process.env.NUXT_PAYLOAD_EXTRACTION is not set correctly anymore as the override from the PR comes "too late".

Cannot load payload in Nuxt 3.6.5
I wrote

mounted() {
store.dispatch("products/getProductsByCategoryId", this.$route.params.id);
},

it is return this warn

here my nuxt.config.ts but when i refresh page server return 404 

export default defineNuxtConfig({   

experimental: {
payloadExtraction: false
},
nitro: {
inlineDynamicImports: true
}});

I'm trying to fix it , still not solve this error

@JonathanDoelan Thank you for the workaround. This worked to get nuxt generate outputting a static site that can be deployed to gh-pages with no errors (Nuxt 3.7.4). 🙌

When using nuxt generate, payload extraction should be set automatically (if unset) 😋

[JonathanDoelan]

My workaround is not necessary any more since v3.6.3

@manniL Oh interesting, I'll have to look into the docs and maybe the source code more regarding that, I guess. Thanks!
