Hi @Zack Plauché. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- You're encountering a common error when trying to run nuxt generate on Windows. This error occurs when Nuxt is trying to prerender your static pages but encounters an issue with file paths. The error message

The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received 'file:///_entry.js'

indicates a problem with how file paths are being handled during the prerendering process. This issue has been reported in several Nuxt GitHub issues and appears to be related to how Node.js handles file URLs on Windows systems. Here are a few potential solutions: Possible Solutions: 1. Close any running dev servers One user reported that this error can occur when trying to build while a dev server is still running. Try stopping any running Nuxt dev servers before running nuxt generate as mentioned in this issue. 2. Update Nuxt and dependencies Make sure you're using the latest versions of Nuxt and its dependencies. Some users have reported that updating resolved their issues. You're using Nuxt 3.16.0 with Nitro 2.11.6, which are recent versions, but it might be worth checking if there are any updates. 3. Try using nuxt build instead If you're trying to create a static site, you might want to try using nuxt build with the appropriate configuration instead of nuxt generate. The generate command is essentially a shortcut for nuxt build with prerendering enabled as explained in the Nuxt documentation. 4. Configure prerendering routes explicitly Try explicitly configuring the routes to be prerendered in your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      routes: ['/'],
    },
  },
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    prerender: {
      routes: ['/'],
    },
  },
})

This issue appears to be related to how file paths are handled during the prerendering process, particularly on Windows systems. Several similar issues have been reported and fixed in Nuxt, so updating to the latest versions and trying the solutions above might help resolve your problem. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
