The updatedAt field of all the contents are changed on deployment.

[TunNandaAung]

When deploying a static site to netlify or vercel, the updatedAt field of all the contents are changed to the deployment time.
You can see in this example nuxt blog repository that the repo was last update on Jan 7 and the updatedAt field of the contents on the website are Jan 7 as well. This behavior also happens on latest version (v1.14.0).

Steps to reproduce

• Clone this repository.
• Deploy it on netlify or vercel.

I noticed the same for the createdAt date, which caused my pagination to go from 1 to 3 to 2. And in my RSS feed happened the same, (generating the feed with the Nuxt Feed module.

I also was confused about this, but for me, it makes sense as during the build steps the files are copied/moved/recreated at the servers of netlify/vercel. To fix this, I added the attribute publishedAt and set the date manually.

I seem to have the same issue using GitHub Pages (with Github Actions).
Am I missing something ? Why doesn't it use the Git timestamp instead of the operating system created_at ?

With nuxt dev, the one with the missing image is last.

On GitHub Pages, the one with a missing image is in the middle:

With nuxt dev
file 1: "createdAt": "2022-06-23T03:57:36.719Z"
file 2: "createdAt": "2022-06-23T04:17:49.584Z"
file 3: "createdAt": "2022-07-11T01:15:46.009Z"

On GitHub Pages:
file 1: "createdAt": "2022-07-11T05:20:28.319Z"
file 2: "createdAt": "2022-07-11T05:20:28.319Z"
file 3: "createdAt": "2022-07-11T05:20:28.319Z"

Here is my GitHub Action workflow it it helps, maybe I did something wrong:

name: ci

    push:
        branches:
            - main
            - master
    pull_request:
        branches:
            - main
            - master

jobs:
    ci:
        runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

        strategy:
            matrix:
                os: [ubuntu-latest]
                node: [14]

        steps:

Install the module with npm install nuxt-content-git and add it to your nuxt.config.js like this:

export default {
  modules: [
    'nuxt-content-git',
    '@nuxt/content',
  ],
}

Note that it is important to add it before @nuxt/content, so @nuxt/content knows about the hooks that our helper module installs.
