Monorepo only: Routes starting with "_" always 404 (eg. /_hello) #6242
Description
Which project does this relate to?
Start
Describe the bug
Note
This one was a doozy to recreate because it only happens when the Tanstack Start app is inside of a monorepo.
I need to create the route http://localhost:3000/_hello. I have the following setup:
my-monorepo/
packages/
[...]
apps/
my-app
src/
routes/
__root.tsx
[_]hello.tsx
Where [_]hello.tsx looks like this:
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
export const Route = createFileRoute('/_hello')({
server: {
handlers: {
GET: async () => {
return Response.json({ hello: 'world' })
},
},
},
})
But when I visit http://localhost:3000/_hello I get a 404 page.
When I create a fresh Tanstack Start app this problem goes away. But as soon as I place it inside of a monorepo it comes back. I only tested this with a pnpm monorepo.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue
- Set up a monorepo (doesn't happen in a single repo). I tested this with a
pnpmmonorepo. - Create a fresh Tanstack Start project from template
- Create any route that start with an escaped underscore
[_]anything.tsx - Visit that route in the browser (
http://localhost:3000/_anything) - You always get 404
Expected behavior
I expect http://localhost:3000/_anything to serve the route
