#403 vite error
9 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
You're encountering a known issue in Nuxt with Vite where you get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access module files. This error is characterized by the double slash (//) in the path: <http://127.0.0.1:58817/__nuxt_vite_node__/module//Users/selvi.kiruba/node_modules/ofetch/dist/node.mjs.>
Solution
This is a bug that has been identified and fixed in recent Nuxt versions. Here's how you can resolve it:
Option 1: Configure Vite to allow access to external node_modules
Add the following to your nuxt.config.ts:
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
import { dirname, resolve } from 'node:path';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);
export default defineNuxtConfig({
// ... rest of your config
vite: {
server: {
fs: {
allow: [
resolve(__dirname),
resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules'),
],
},
},
},
});
Option 2: Update to the latest Nuxt version
This issue has been fixed in newer versions of Nuxt. You can update your Nuxt version to get the fix.
Additional Information
This issue has been reported by multiple users across different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and package managers (npm, pnpm, bun). It particularly affects:
- Local module development (using npm link or similar)
- Certain path structures that result in double slashes
The issue was tracked in GitHub issue #31311 and GitHub issue #31782, and a fix has been merged into the main branch.
If you're still experiencing this issue after updating, you might need to try the nightly build or wait for the next patch release that includes the fix.

import { dirname, resolve } from 'node:path';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);
export default defineNuxtConfig({
// ... rest of your config
vite: {
server: {
fs: {
allow: [
resolve(__dirname),
resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules'),

},
});
Option 2: Update to the latest Nuxt version
The issue has been fixed in newer versions of Nuxt. According to the knowledge sources, a fix has been merged and should be included in the next patch release GitHub issue #31311.
If you're still experiencing this issue after trying these solutions, you might need to:
- Clear your cache and node_modules folder
- Try using the Nuxt nightly build
- As a last resort, you could try disabling strict mode in Vite's configuration, though this isn't recommended for security reasons
