Description

console.warn(
      `Failed to load cached Vite configuration from ${viteConfigDistFile}`,
);

I get it with platformatic start / wattpm devon react-typescript demo from this repo demos.

It was not clear that platformatic start would run it in prod mode, and in prod mode it requires to have a dist.

Well, my old dev command was tsx src/server.ts --dev. And this was expected:

{
  // TODO handle via CLI path argument with proper resolve
  root: resolve(import.meta.dirname, ".."),
  distDir: import.meta.dirname, // This file will also live in the dist folder when built
  renderer: "@fastify/react",
+  dev: true,
};

Expected Behavior

console.error(
      `Failed to load cached Vite configuration from ${viteConfigDistFile}. Production mode requires app to be compiled to dist. If it's not expected, please, provide 'dev' option to Vite config.`,
);
