Laravel Vite Wont Serve Build Files
This is a silly one.
I wanted to run Laravel in dev mode but using the compiled js and scss from npm run build via vitejs.
This usually works
but for some reason Laravel was trying to serve js/css from http://localhost:5173/@vite/client
a service I usually run - but I wanted to test the build stuff.
The solution is really simple but not well documented.
To get it working I just had to delete the file public/hot
If this file is present the assets are hot loaded - if not the build ones are served.
I guess that vite run dev usually cleans this file up on exit - but must have been stopped abruptly at some point.
