Nuxt.js fails to start up with auth module

npx create-nuxt-app client and set it up. Run npm run dev and everything works.

I start auth setup with npm install @nuxtjs/auth

add '@nuxtjs/auth' module in nuxt.config.js

add example auth strategy like so

  auth: {
    strategies: {
      local: {
        endpoints: {
          login: { url: '/api/login', method: 'post' },
        },
        tokenRequired: false,
        tokenType: false
      }
    }
  },

Add the example vue store and save it in store/index.js:

export const state = () => ({
  counter: 0
})

export const mutations = {
  increment(state) {
    state.counter++
  }
}

I run npm run dev, everything compiles and init message shows to go to http://localhost:3000/. Trying to load it in the browser, the URL continues to load after initial loading and does not end. Node process starts to use 100% of the CPU and after several minutes prints this and quits:

I tried this start to finish with node v10.15.3 and v12.18.3, the same result. Versions from package.json:

  "dependencies": {
    "@nuxtjs/auth": "^4.9.1",
    "@nuxtjs/axios": "^5.12.0",
    "bootstrap": "^4.5.0",
    "bootstrap-vue": "^2.15.0",
    "nuxt": "^2.14.0"
  }

and npx create-nuxt-app --version shows create-nuxt-app/3.2.0 linux-x64 node-v12.18.3. OS is Solus 4.1 Fortitude.

What is going wrong here? If this is a known bug, are there versions/workaround that works?

Answer

Setting baseURL property under for axios in nuxt.config.js solved my issue:

  axios: {
    baseURL: '/'
  }
