How to ensure Server Middleware gets included in .nuxt Bundle Directory

[torressam333]

Can anyone explain a way to manually add the server middleware into the bundle that goes out with the .nuxt directory? I am trying to deploy my application but am convinced that SM dir is never included as I am not able to hit the REST endpoints created inside of that dir. I have the serverMiddleware[] properly described in my nuxt.config.js file and have the api calls' working locally.

I am on Nuxt 2.15.8.

Thanks!
