Having trouble getting it to work #23

Closed FrDH closed 2 years ago

FrDH commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to get this to work, but without much result. Here's my setup:

Craft version 3.7.8 Craft Vite plugin version 1.0.20 Local server: MAMP PRO Local URL: http://localhost/test.com/public_html/

First question would be: after installing the Craft Vite plugin, do I need to manually install Vite.js ? Or does the plugin do this for me? (I manually installed it using npm install vite --save-dev)

Second question: do I need to manually start the Vite server? After adding the scripts dev, build and preview to the package.json I'm able to do npm run dev and Vite will start a server at http://localhost:3000/. But following that link results in an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.

Am I missing something in the docs? Or should the above simply work and am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you have to install Vite.js yourself and run it however you want to run it.

You should not access the Vite dev server directly via http://localhost:3000/, you should access your website however you normally do in your local dev environment.

The Vite dev server is only for serving assets like JS, CSS, etc.

I think the issues you've having are unrelated to the Vite plugin itself.
