Reproduction

I tried to reproduce the problem but it does not appear as often as on the local machine. But every time it appears when creating a .env file and occasionally when editing it.

Demo

Describe the bug

Every time when I save a .env file I get an error, both on Mac and Windows.

For ex. trying to edit vars NUXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE & NUXT_API_SECRET

From MacOS:

ERROR  [unhandledRejection] connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:54689                                                                                          
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1595:16)

From Windows

I'm always getting this same error even without editing .env file Just after ~60-90 minutes of work in dev mode, I need to restart it

  at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1595:16)

(seems related to Sentry in this exact use case, but it is disabled in local development. I can also confirm I often see the ECONNREFUSED though)

[cyruscollier]

We started getting this error when we starting running Nuxt locally with an SSL cert. Possible it's a memory management issue, as we often see various memory-related errors like like right before the ECONNREFUSED:

node(55580,0x10a0e0580) malloc: *** error for object 0x6000002a7aa8: pointer being freed was not allocated
node(55580,0x10a0e0580) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

[unitythemaker]

I've used to getting these errors, I need to restart my dev server every 15 minutes and today I got this one too in my console if that helps:

malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)

Edit: After posting this comment I also got errors below.

free(): invalid next size (fast)

free(): invalid pointer

[albertolina]

I am experiencing the same issue, any fix for this?

[aaronguostudio]

I got the same issue after upgrading to "nuxt": "^3.12.3"

[BotellaA]

@danielroe is there a working workaround for this?

[itoonx]

i got the same error on node v22.0.0, macos

[saint-james-fr]

Did you try this one ? worked for me

// nuxt.config.ts

routeRules: {
  "/api/*": {
    prerender: false,
  }
}
