I followed this documentation https://nuxtjs.org/faq/netlify-deployment/ for SPA applications. This is my configuration: Deploy settings
When I do npm run build to my Nuxt project locally everything works and the .nuxt folder that contains distis generated too, nevertheless, in Netlify it won't work.
Here is the deploy log which main issue is failed during stage 'building site': Deploy directory 'dist' does not exist. Here I'll paste the complete log:

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me!
So I was having this same issue, then i figured that i forgot to run yarn generate before yarn build.
Also in your .gitignore remove dist there and it should work just fine.
