I'm using the latest vue-cli version 3.0.
My current issue is that whenever I run npm run build the files generated in the dist folder can't be run without a server.
I would like to be able to just open the index.html file on the browser. How do I go about doing this?
I ran into a similar issue and the following two changes helped me to make it work. Now I can just open index.html in Chrome as a file to run my SPA from file system.
In vue.config.js, I did not have a publicPath configured, which resulted in the default "/".
I had to configure it to empty string like this so that it uses relative paths:
module.exports = {
publicPath: '',
}
PS: Since Vue CLI 3.3 use publicPath instead of the now deprecated baseURL
I was using the history mode of vue-router, which does not work
on a local file system to route the paths back to index.html. So I
omitted the mode to go back to the default hash mode.
I was able to fix this issue by manually changing the url of the referenced files.
It's a bit of a pain, but this was a solution without having to mess around with the build configuration.
What you need to do:
index.htmlhref=/ and replace with href=src=/ and replace with src=NOTE: I was in need of this solution because I was creating a Phonegap app.
/src/assets/img/..., then in the /dist/ folder, they're moved to /dist/img/...You can use the http-server module
npm install http-server -g
http-server dist/
normally the server starts at port 8080 so you can serve the build app on http://localhost:8080
