Sorry, I would like to share a reproduction on Stackblitz, but I failed to get an effective install of nuxt3 + @nuxt/test-utils: https://stackblitz.com/edit/nuxt-starter-mygjuknd?file=package.json

Describe the bug

If I don't have any / page, we experiment some router warnings during test.

stderr | components/Header.nuxt.spec.ts
[Vue Router warn]: No match found for location with path "/"

stderr | components/Header.nuxt.spec.ts
[Vue Router warn]: No match found for location with path "/"

stderr | components/Header.nuxt.spec.ts
[nuxt] error caught during app initialization H3Error: Page not found: /

Additional context

Additionally, we expect to be able to mock the current route during the tests, because we have some different behavior regarding the format of the current route.

Errors can be suppressed using the following workaround.
(We need to create pages/test-stub.vue.)

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  $test: {
    routeRules: {
      "/": {
        redirect: "test-stub",
      },
    },
  },
});

if / isn't valid for you, you can also pass { route: '/some-valid-route' } as an additional argument to mountSuspended

[wattanx]

Even if I specify an existing route, the error still occurs.

Here's a minimal reproduction:

I think the issue is that router.replace is being executed in the app:created hook.
