“Generating sitemaps” message printed numerous times, sitemap incomplete

[Anoesj]

When running pnpm nuxt generate, the following message is repeated for every generated html file

ℹ Generating sitemaps
✔ Generated /../.output/public/sitemap.xml

Let me give an example of a sitemap.xml and the pnpm nuxt generate output in a very common Nuxt 3 setup.

Contents of pages/ directory:

• users/
  • index.vue
  • Fetches id and name of all users from a backend and renders links to their profile pages. In this case, it receives one user with id 1 and renders a link to /users/1. The Nuxt crawler should therefore prerender .output/public/users/1/index.html.
  • [id].vue
  • Fetches data of user [id] from a backend and renders a user profile page.
• index.vue
  • Fetches id, route and title of every page from a backend and renders links to their respective pages. Because this route lists links to every available page, the Nuxt crawler should therefore prerender all of those routes.
• [...slug].vue
  • Fetches data of page with matching route from a backend.

Output of pnpm nuxt generate:

ℹ Client built in 4779ms

✔ You can now deploy .output/public to any static hosting!

Firstly, this output is confusing, because it feels like this output suggests that the sitemap.xml file is overwritten many times.

Secondly, one would think that all the routes that were prerendered by Nuxt would appear in the generated sitemap.xml, but only the static/non-dynamic routes were actually added to sitemap.xml, namely:

• / (from /pages/index.vue)
• and /users (from /pages/users/index.vue)

Could you reply to both of these issues and clear up if this is the expected behavior?

Thank you!

I tried a few things, the current version fixes the spamming of "Generating sitemaps", it now only generates it once.

EDIT: Will release a new version today which will add the pre-rendered routes.

Sounds great, thanks so much!
