Conflicting page & metadata at `/sitemap` when Turbopack is enabled (src/app/sitemap.ts vs src/app/sitemap/page.tsx)

[igz0]

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/igz0/nextjs-sitemap-conflict-turbopack

To Reproduce

1. Create a fresh Next.js v15.3.1 project with the App Router.

2. Add src/app/sitemap.ts:

// generates /sitemap.xml
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://example.com',
    },
  ]
}

3. Add src/app/sitemap/page.tsx:

// renders /sitemap
export default function SitemapPage() {
  return <div>Sitemap</div>
}

4. Start dev server with Turbopack (default in next dev):

pnpm dev          # or npm run dev / yarn dev

5. Observe the console error and that the dev server refuses to compile.

Error: ./src/app
An issue occurred while preparing your Next.js app
Conflicting page and metadata at /sitemap: page at /sitemap/page and metadata at /sitemap/route

Current vs. Expected behavior

	Current (bug)	Expected
Dev with Turbopack	❌ Fails at startup with conflict error	✅ Should allow both routes:• /sitemap.xml from sitemap.ts• /sitemap from sitemap/page.tsx
Dev with --no-turbo (webpack)	✅ Works	✅
next build / production	✅ Builds	✅

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Turbopack

Which stage(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

next dev (local)

Additional context

• Happens only when Turbopack is enabled; next dev --no-turbo compiles fine.
• Removing either file or renaming one of the routes avoids the error.
• According to the docs, metadata routes such as src/app/sitemap.ts should map to /sitemap.xml, which should not collide with a page at /sitemap.
• The conflict check therefore looks Turbopack-specific.

Yea, the same. I use next-intl for localization and conflict happens between page.tsx in [locale] namespace and sitemap.ts in the root path.

Encountered the same issue, now could either have sitemap.xml or a site with /sitemap. Was fine when webpack was used.

Diverting to a different path for /sitemap, i.e. into a folder /en/sitemap or rename it temporarily.
