Hi @Tincan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insight into your question about chunk URLs in Nuxt.
Nuxt uses a feature called automatic code splitting, which can result in JavaScript chunks being generated for your application. These chunks are part of Nuxt's optimization strategy to improve loading times and performance.
When it comes to security testing with tools like ZAP, you might encounter issues related to these chunk URLs. Nuxt provides built-in support for handling chunk loading errors, which can occur due to network connectivity failures or new deployments that invalidate old, hashed JS chunk URLs.
According to the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/error-handling#errors-with-js-chunks), Nuxt performs a hard reload when a chunk fails to load during route navigation. This behavior can be modified by setting the
experimental.emitRouteChunkError option.
If you're encountering specific issues with ZAP and these chunk URLs, you might want to consider:
1. Ensuring that your security testing tool is configured to handle dynamic JavaScript loading.
2. Investigating if the chunk loading errors are affecting your security scans.
3. Potentially adjusting Nuxt's chunk handling behavior if it's interfering with your security testing process.
For more detailed information about how Nuxt handles these chunks and potential ways to customize this behavior, you may want to refer to the Nuxt documentation on error handling (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/error-handling#errors-with-js-chunks).
If you're experiencing specific security issues related to these chunk URLs, it would be helpful to have more details about the exact problems you're encountering with ZAP to provide a more targeted response.
