Having difficulty with vite_rails and System Tests: "can't find entrypoints/application.js ..."

[radavis]

So, first off, thanks for this awesome tool!

I'm attempting to do some system testing and I'm having some difficulty. I've run bin/rake assets:precompile and disabled autoBuild with the environment variable VITE_RUBY_AUTO_BUILD=false.

From what I can gather, the file exists (entrypoints/application.js points to file: assets/application-d0aa1163.js).

Any help or direction here would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Richard!

From the guide:

it's recommended to run bin/rake assets:precompile in a previous CI step.

autoBuild is correctly disabled in your CI config, but I don't see bin/rake assets:precompile in your CI pipeline.

[radavis]

Ah, I'm doing that in my Dockerfile

[ElMassimo]

The CI errors are not printing the manifest contents, so you might want to add similar code to verify if the manifest contains the expected entrypoints.

You could add the following line before vite_javascript_tag in your layout:

<%= Kernel.puts JSON.pretty_generate(vite_manifest.refresh) %>

[radavis]

As it turns out, I had an issue with my Dockerfile and the order I was running commands. Thanks for your assistance, @ElMassimo!

I stumbled upon this thread while dealing with similar issue. It turns out my mistake is forgetting to turn off autoBuild in my CI pipeline. (Yes I have assets:precompile in the preceding CI step)
