Moving vite.config.ts on different location

[vizo]

Hey.. If i move vite.config.ts from Rails root to "app/frontend" (because it's not loaded), I get error:
Building with Vite ⚡️
vite v3.0.9 building for development...
✓ 0 modules transformed.
Could not resolve entry module (app/frontend/index.html).
error during build:
Error: Could not resolve entry module (app/frontend/index.html).

If i run by:
bin/vite build app/frontend --clear --mode=development
works as expected ...

I think commands bin/vite serve and build should respect config root directory from "/config/vite.json"

Is there any other way to make it work out of the box?

Thank you in advance.

Vite allows specifying a different config file, by passing --config:

bin/vite dev -- --config app/frontend/vite.config.ts
bin/vite build -- --config app/frontend/vite.config.ts

I would recommend keeping vite.config.ts at the root, since that's the default behavior for any Vite project.

By using a different configuration it's likely that you'll run into specific problems most users don't run into.

should respect config root directory from "/config/vite.json"

The root has higher priority than config/vite.json (which is resolved relative to the root), so that happens the other way around.
