Laravel 9 project, Vite manifest not found on server

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Laravel 9 project on an Ubuntu 20 server.

On localhost everything works, but on the server, when I try to open the website, I get this error:

Vite manifest not found at: /var/www/example.com/public/resources/assets/js/myScripts.js/manifest.json

The line in the Blade template producing the error seems to be this one:

@vite('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'resources/assets/js/myScripts.js')

I made sure to run npm run build and checked that the manifest.json file is generated correctly, which it is.

The content of public/build/manifest.json is something like this:

{
  "resources/assets/js/myScripts.js": {
    "file": "assets/myScripts.47ff47b1.js",
    "src": "resources/assets/js/myScripts.js",
    "isEntry": true,
    "imports": [
      "_jquery.0178a139.js"
    ]
  },
  ...
  ...
  "resources/assets/sass/app.scss": {
    "file": "assets/app.439d8351.css",
    "src": "resources/assets/sass/app.scss",
    "isEntry": true
  }

Any suggestions?

You need to pass the resources as an array in your statement, when passing more than one file:

@vite(['resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'resources/assets/js/myScripts.js'])

The second parameter in @vite looks like its for setting a custom path for the manifest.json file, which in this case is looking at your myScripts.js
