Files from static folder not found in dev

[goowikns]

I seem to be having an issue where in dev mode my static files are not found.

To recap:

• Vue-cli version: 2.9.1 (seems to include assetsPublicPath: '/', which seem to be an issue in previous vue versions)
• files under static folder not found during npm run dev
• within index.html I have following path: <script src="/static/scriptname.js"></script>

The built version does work!

work fine for me ... you will have to provide more information.

That works cause the logo (in a new vue projects) resides in the /src/assets folder and not in the /static folder (where I put my javascript files)

[LinusBorg]

No, I moved it to the static folder. if it were in the assets folder and handled by webpack, it would also be under static/img, not static/

I don't understand why it doesn't seem to work.

As I said, I have 2 js files in my projects-root-static-folder.
I simply included them in my index.html using: <script src="/static/scriptname.js"></script>

Now when I run dev mode, the files don't seem to be 'virtually' copied to the static folder. All the rest from the src/assets folder is! Just not the static folder.

On building the project, it does work. Can it be there is a bug or something missing from the dev config?

Hard to say without seeing your actual setup. Your description can't replace that.

[goowikns]

I created a fresh vue project and started testing.

It seems scripts and sounds aren't copied at all in dev mode. Pictures like the logo in your example are copied correctly.

Hm, that's weird. I'll have to check out if this is somethign webpack-dev-server does on purpose ... we haven't specified anything particular about what to serve, webpack-dev-server just does this on its own from the root directory.

[goowikns]

I checked their documentation at https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserver-publicpath-

It says

Make sure publicPath always starts and ends with a forward slash.

But even using the forward slashes doesn't seem to work.
