I was about to create the same issue. Really just created the app from the boilerplate and getting the same issue. I was thinking about switching to Qwik, but I guess it's not a mature framework yet for a prod environment

[thejackshelton]

@McKpol currently debugging this, any idea on the qwik version you had when this feature was working properly?

[McKpol]

@thejackshelton I dont know how to check the qwik version, but my older app in qwik work perflectly and i guess it will help: package.json

...
  "devDependencies": {
    "@builder.io/qwik": "^1.3.2",
    "@builder.io/qwik-city": "^1.3.2",
    "@tauri-apps/cli": "^1.5.9",
    "@types/eslint": "^8.44.8",
    "@types/node": "^20.10.3",

I tried version 1.4.2 - 1.4.1 - 1.1.0, still had the same issue. I'll try to use a different machine as I'm running it on an M1. Las hope

[thejackshelton]

Aha! With your deps @McKpol looks like we got some working behavior. We're getting somewhere.

[thejackshelton]

I've narrowed down the issue being introduced in "@builder.io/qwik-city": "1.4.2",

For now, I would suggest downgrading to v1.4.1 in your package.json @ZGFuZHk100 and @McKpol, and make sure not to use semantic versioning on the versions.

    "@builder.io/qwik": "1.4.1",
    "@builder.io/qwik-city": "1.4.1",
    "eslint-plugin-qwik": "1.4.1",

There is no ^, because we do not want semantic versioning here

The cause of the problem looks to be this commit here: https://github.com/BuilderIO/qwik/commit/c87c8edb647016fea1c50354c94555833f5b7ac9

[wmertens]

Argh, it was my fault :( thanks to your sleuthing @thejackshelton I was able to find the error, I introduced it by preloading the root route for faster startup. Fix incoming.

[brandonpittman]

This has been driving me nuts the last couple of days.

[thejackshelton]

@brandonpittman @ZGFuZHk100 @McKpol fixed in 1.4.5
