Laravel + Vite manifest output

What you shared above is two different locations:

output: /public/.vite/manifest.json

error: public/manifest.json

so why it is outputting the manifest in the wrong directory?

when you open the package.json file do you have this:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "vite build"
},

hey thanks for your anser. Yes i know it's two different locations, that's exactly the problem.

Yes, my package. json has

"scripts": {
        "build": "vite build",
        "dev": "vite"
    },

and I event tried to force the output of the manifest in vite.config.js, but it does not care... Here is my vite.config.js, maybe something is wrong, I'm way more used to Webpak, so Vite is still in "discover" mode.

import {defineConfig} from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';

export default defineConfig(({command}) => {
    const isProduction = command === 'build';
    return {

        plugins: [
            laravel({
                input: ['resources/scss/app.scss', 'resources/js/app.jsx'],
                refresh: !isProduction,
                // buildDirectory: '',
            }),
            react(),
        ],
        css: {
            preprocessorOptions: {
                scss: {
                    quietDeps: true, // Suppresses warnings from dependencies
                },
            },
        },
        server: !isProduction
            ? {
                host: '0.0.0.0',
                port: 5173,
                strictPort: true,
                hmr: {
                    host: 'my-app.ddev.site',
                    protocol: 'wss',
                },
            }
            : undefined,
        build: {
            manifest: true,
            outDir: 'public/build',
            rollupOptions: {
                input: {
                    main: 'resources/js/app.jsx',
                    styles: 'resources/scss/app.scss',
                },
                output: {
                    manualChunks: {
                        react: ['react', 'react-dom'], // Separate React dependencies into a dedicated chunk
                    },
                    entryFileNames: 'assets/[name].js',
                    chunkFileNames: 'assets/[name].js',
                    assetFileNames: 'assets/[name].[ext]',
                },
            },

        },
    }
});

no one has an idea ?

You can set the manifest.json path manually by creating a vite.php file in you app/config

<?php


return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Build Path
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Dies ist der Standardpfad, an dem Laravel nach dem Manifest sucht.
    | Du kannst hier ein benutzerdefiniertes Verzeichnis für dein Manifest
    | angeben, z. B. für getrennte SSR- oder User-Builds.
    |
    */
    'build_path' => env('VITE_BUILD_PATH', 'build/*'),
];

in your case that would probably be: "public/.vite/"

Hello, if you set manifest: true in vite.config.mjs it creates the manifest into the ".vite" folder, if you just delete that property from config it does actually create the manifest to the directly build directory.
