The action ignores .ts config and creates default nuxt.config.js

[Ni55aN]

This issue occurs when generator_config_file input is not provided

It may not be obvious when using Nuxt 3 Workflow suggested by Github. Additionally Nuxt 3 uses .js configuration file, even if a .ts config exists which makes it harder to debug this problem

Same for me. It worked well with JS but it works wrong after I switched my app to typescript.
Here is details:

nuxt 3 with Typescript uses nuxt.config.ts file for configuration. But the action ignores it and creates a fallback one which leads to wrong output:

This output has no my code at all because of the fallback nuxt config created by the action.

I renamed the nuxt.config.ts to nuxt.config.js and the action worked as expected.

[wvovaw]

Here nuxt config path is hardcoded to nuxt.config.js

[yoannchaudet]

This Action makes a best effort approach to update your configuration file. It only understands JavaScript and not TypeScript which is why we don't look at .ts files. While it may work for you, the minute you add TypeScript specific code in this file that our JavaScript parser does not recognize, it will blow up.

[Ni55aN]

@yoannchaudet I don't have any objections to exclusively supporting JS configs. The only issue is that it covertly generates JS configuration without providing any hints or warnings about it

[yoannchaudet]

Got it. Contributions are open on this repo. Don't hesitate to propose a PR. Keeping this issue open for now.

Can you guys take a look whether I've fixed it or not?
