Hello @laciferin2024. Please provide a minimal reproduction using a GitHub repository or StackBlitz. Issues marked with needs reproduction will be closed if they have no activity within 3 days.

We need the source code that generates the invalid output to investigate.

[laciferin2024]

@sapphi-red the framework that source code is written is sveltekit. I have attached the static code failing for vite [exclusively]. Its not the source code nor the static build the issue. Cuz the generated build is working just fine in chrome and gulp. I have definitely provided the minimum reproduction that was asked for.

[sapphi-red]

So you're trying to build the file output by sveltekit by vite (otherwise there's no reason to run vite dev instead of vite preview)?

[laciferin2024]

Thanks @sapphi-red ,

mv build dist
vite preview

is working. But when I tried vite preview ./build it didn't work.

[sapphi-red]

vite preview --outDir build would work.

[laciferin2024]

vite preview --outDir build would work.

Its working

Although I get the error:

(!) build.outDir must not be the same directory of root or a parent directory of root as this could cause Vite to overwriting source files with build outputs.

when i set --outDir .

[sapphi-red]

That is expected as the message says.
Closing as it seems to be working.

[laciferin2024]

Yeah, but why is the vite dev command failing for the static build?

[sapphi-red]

There is a edge case bug causing that, but Vite doesn't support building the output and I don't think it's worth fixing at this point. (since it's not what you are trying to achieve)

[laciferin2024]

Thanks, I really appreciate all the support.
