Describe the bug

if I comment out the following line in nuxt.config file then I'm able the error is gone

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/content'], // commenting out this line fixes the issue
  })

This may comme from one of your Markdown files, can you try to remove them and add them one by one by and building to see which one is causing it?

[fanckush]

@atinux spot on! one Markdown file contained a ' in its name. Example:

~/content/i'm-a-test.md    ---> breaks
~/content/im-a-test.md     ---> works

removing the apostrophe fixed the issue. Maybe the error needs to be more clear or maybe ' should be allowed in the file name?

[atinux]

Well I think using ' is definetely not a best practice for filenames. Maybe we could find a way to warn this to improve the DX @farnabaz ?

[farnabaz]

We can warn and ignore these files inside getContentIds.

@atinux i get this same error but in my case, I am not using markdown. It however shows up when i use genQL (https://genql.vercel.app/) within the server/api directory. when I comment the reference to the genQL client , the error goes away

[atinux]

Have you tried to use https://github.com/diizzayy/nuxt-graphql-client instead @shiftlabs1 ?
