Calling `bin/vite ssr` just exits with no errors

[iamdriz]

I've followed the documentation at: https://vite-ruby.netlify.app/config/#ssr-options-experimental and built a quick example SSR app to test out if we can do SSR in our Rails app that's using this plugin to add in React JS views... the code is as follows:

ssr.tsx in app/javascript/ssr/ssr.tsx:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOMServer from "react-dom/server";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="flex h-full items-center justify-center">
      Hello from SSR
    </div>
  );
};

export function render() {
  const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
    <React.StrictMode>
      <App />
    </React.StrictMode>
  );
  return { html };
}

We then call: bin/vite build --ssr which results with:

Building with Vite ⚡️

rendering chunks...

✓ built in 285ms
Build with Vite complete: /Users/cameron/myapp/public/vite

And the contents of that built file:

import { jsx } from 'react/jsx-runtime';
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server';

const App = () => {
  return /* @__PURE__ */ jsx("div", { className: "flex h-full items-center justify-center", children: "Hello from SSR" });
};
function render() {
  const html = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
    /* @__PURE__ */ jsx(React.StrictMode, { children: /* @__PURE__ */ jsx(App, {}) })
  );
  return { html };
}

export { render };
//# sourceMappingURL=ssr.js.map

Then I have tried running: bin/vite ssr to run the SSR version (documentation doesn't mention anymore steps)

But the command just runs with no output and then that's it... is there missing step?

In the ViteJS documentation they mention using an express server: https://github.com/bluwy/create-vite-extra/blob/master/template-ssr-react/server.js - but you don't mention this anywhere and it seems implied (even in the Inertia example you provide at: https://github.com/ElMassimo/inertia-rails-ssr-template) that a custom express server isn't required and all the additional parts come built in... the documentation does mention a nodejs file... but all I see generated is that JSX output I provided above.

Can you point me in the correct direction for what's actually missing? or is there a bug from the CLI?
