[Bug report] Does not work on Windows with junction in path

[andreashe]

Description

On Windows you can create junctions, which is something similar like a symlink. When the project is in a folder which has a junction in the path, it does not work and results with an error like this:

Rendering 3 pagesTypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'routeLocale')

Not sure in which module this issue comes up. But I guess it must be something which tries to read a file or calculate a path to a file. For sure it happens not often as very less users may use junctions.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vuepress-sotfmabk

Used Package Manager

npm

System Info

I tested it with this simple project: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vuepress-sotfmabk

Create a windows junction:


mklink /J <Link> <Target>

on Windows 10

Then enter the project (which must be reached through the junction) and do

npm run build

Side node: with npm run dev it works.

Thanks for the detailed information, I did a debugging and it seems that it might be an upstream issue.

I will see if we can bypass this later.
