Why doesn't Nuxt automaticallly generate my static routes?

All I see in /dist folder upon doing npm run generate is one 200.html and a _nuxt folder with a bunch of other files: no index.html and no /about folder for my about route.

So Nuxt didn't generate my static routes and the app doesn't work.

What am I missing here?

router.js:

import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
Vue.use(Router)

export function createRouter () {
  return new Router({
    mode: 'history',
    routes: [
      {
        path: '/',
        component: () => import(/* webpackChunkName: "index" */ '~/pages/index.vue').then(m => m.default || m)
      },
      {
        path: '/about',
        component: () => import(/* webpackChunkName: "about" */ '~/pages/about.vue').then(m => m.default || m)
      }
    ]
  })
}

nuxt.config.js:

export default {
  target: 'static',
  ssr: true,
  components: true,
  ...
}

EDIT: if I delete router.js, hence letting Nuxt.js do its automatic routing thing, then my static routes do get generated, I've just discovered. Why does it fail in the presence of router.js?

As explained in the docs here: https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/features/file-system-routing#extending-the-router

If you do pass a router.js file to your Nuxt, it will overwrite your configuration due to the @nuxtjs/router module. You need to choose between the 2.

I'd still recommend using the Nuxt way and handle it with your files/folders and let the crawler do it's job.

Otherwise, you could maybe use the keepDefaultRouter option of the router module.

For my usage, router-extras-module is good enough in terms of features: if you want to make some aliases or renaming. I do recommend it !
