Describe the Bug

When visiting the route /examples the dev server throws an error and does not 404

Other pages/routes render correctly or throw a 404 if they don't exist

What's the expected result?

For the dev server render the page like normal or show 404

What do you mean by breaks the dev server? In the SB it does a 404, is that what you mean?

[matthewp]

The reproduction has a misspelling, the file is named exmaples.md, so a 404 is expected here.

Oops, my bad! I fixed the file name, but the error is still occurring. It looks like this is working on stackblitz but locally (using Windows and pnpm) it throws the error in the screenshot above and does not 404

It looks like Content Collections has nothing to do with this, this is happening to the route /examples in general. Visiting /examples on the dev server with or without a page is causing the error.

Could not reproduce the issue.

Edit: I am running Node 20.7

This might be a Vite bug. Do you have C:\examples\package.json exists in your filesystem? I can't reproduce it locally either.

[BryceRussell]

@bluwy I do, I guess at some point I accidentally created an Astro project at C:\examples

Confirmed that deleting this fixes the problem

Looks like you're hitting vitejs/vite#6859 so I don't think there's much that can be done in Astro. But it's good to know that it can be reproduced without needing the Astro project also in the root in the first place in contrary to that issue. I'll close this for now!
