What I’ve found out is that since v3.6.2 we need to explicitly set experimental.payloadExtraction to true. Otherwise the _payload.json files are not generated (in SSG mode).

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: true
  }
})

Would you try with the latest v3.6.3?

Had the issue with v3.6.3

I think the problem is that after https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/21860, process.env.NUXT_PAYLOAD_EXTRACTION is not set correctly anymore as the override from the PR comes “too late”.

Experienced this when attempting to deploy a fully static site with payload extraction.

Downgrade to 3.6.1 fixed it for me.

You can probably work around this by adding:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  experimental: {
    payloadExtraction: false
  }
})

This should be properly resolved with https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/21370.

Other context: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/15024.
