Nuxt generate does not generate index.html

Question

I have a Nuxt JS Project on my local maschine and if I launch it, it works with no Problems...But when I try to genereare the files in the dist Folder to Copy it on my Linux Server, it does not work, because there is no index.html....here a shot what it generates me:

As you can see, there is no index.html generated....

Our config is the default nuxt config....would be nice if you could help me :)

This often happens, if you have some syntax errors in your pages/index.vue. nuxt:generate won't stop the generation process on error, but skip only this one route. Which leaves you with a missing route.

You should however get a error message similar to this one in your console:

[...]

You can also use nuxt generate --fail-on-error. (see https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/get-started/commands/#fail-on-error)
