Workaround: In your vite config, use

export default defineConfig(({command, mode}) => {
    return {
        base: command === 'build' ? '/your-base/' : undefined,
// ...

let me pick this up.,

[JerryWu1234]

you say this bug ?

[wmertens]

@JerryWu1234 yes it should use the import.meta.env.BASE_URL in front of it

In production, is there any workaround to fix this? I'm trying to create a multi-zone in Next.js for a Qwik application, and for that, I need the vite.base set in the configuration to work for all the assets

@JuanmaVargas do you mean it's not working in production?

I have the fix for dev in #6326 but it's part of a rewrite. I hope to land it soon.

Meantime if anyone looking for workaround set different path production and development:

export default defineConfig(() => {
  return {
    base: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? `/production-path/` : '',
    plugins: [
      qwikCity(),
      qwikVite(),
      tsconfigPaths(),
      vanillaExtractPlugin(),
    ],
  };
});
