fix(start): resolve the emitted server entry for prerendering#8172addielaruee wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
The prerender preview server located the built server module by reconstructing its filename from the server input name and pinning a `.js` extension. Any build whose server output differs (a configured `output.entryFileNames`, or a Cloudflare/Nitro build emitting `index.mjs`) was never found: the dynamic import threw `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`, every prerender fetch returned 500, and the build aborted with the real cause swallowed. Resolve the entry the build actually emitted instead. Prefer the configured `output.entryFileNames` (resolving the `[name]` placeholder), then fall back to the input basename with the common output extensions. When no candidate exists, throw an error that names the filenames looked for and the files present in the output directory, so the failure is diagnosable instead of an opaque 500. Fixes TanStack#8118

Add preview-server workflow coverage.
Add an integration or end-to-end test that emits a renamed server entry, starts the preview middleware, and verifies a request loads that entry successfully. The resolver unit tests do not cover this import and request path.
As per coding guidelines, “Add appropriate unit tests for isolated behavior and end-to-end tests for browser or application workflows.”

Vite 8.0.14 Rolldown output.entryFileNames [name] [hash] emitted filename semantics
💡 Result:
In Vite 8, which utilizes Rolldown as its underlying bundler [1], the output.entryFileNames configuration follows the same semantics established by Rollup [2][3]. This option defines the pattern for naming output chunks created from entry points [2][3]. The [name] and [hash] placeholders function as follows: [name]: This placeholder represents the file name of the entry point (without its extension) [2][3]. If you use the object form for your input configuration, [name] will resolve to the name of the object property instead of the original file name [2][3]. [hash]: This placeholder generates a hash based on the content of the final rendered entry chunk [2][3]. This includes any transformations applied during the build process, such as those from renderChunk hooks or referenced file hashes [2][3]. You can control the length of this hash by appending a colon and a number, such as [hash:10] [2][3]. Additional semantic rules and behaviors: - Sub-directories: You can use forward slashes (/) within your entryFileNames pattern to organize output into specific sub-directories (e.g., assets/[name].js) [2][3]. - Constraints: Patterns cannot be absolute or relative paths (e.g., starting with / or../) [4]. They must be relative to the output directory [4]. - Default Behavior: The default value for entryFileNames is typically "[name].js" [2][3]. - Functional API: Besides a string pattern, entryFileNames can also be defined as a function that accepts chunk information and returns a string pattern, allowing for dynamic filename generation [2][3]. Because Vite 8 integrates Rolldown for bundling, it maintains high compatibility with these existing Rollup-style configuration patterns to ensure predictable output paths [5].

Resolve configured hashed entry names.
When entryFileNames is [name]-[hash].mjs, resolveServerEntry discards the configured candidate and checks only server.js, server.mjs, and server.cjs. Vite 8/Rolldown can emit server-<hash>.mjs, so the preview plugin can throw before importing the server build. Match emitted files against the configured pattern or persist the emitted entry path, and add a regression test.

🎯 Changes
Fixes #8118.
The prerender pass starts a Vite preview server and fetches each page over HTTP. Its SSR fallback middleware located the built server module by reconstructing the filename from the server input name and appending a hardcoded
.js:Any build whose server output is not literally
<inputBasename>.jswas therefore never found. The dynamicimport()threwERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, every prerender fetch returned a 500, and the build aborted. Two real cases hit this: a configuredoutput.entryFileNames(e.g.index.mjs), and a Cloudflare-targeted Nitro build that emitsdist/server/index.mjs. The underlying module-not-found error was also swallowed, so the failure surfaced only as an opaque 500.This change resolves the entry the build actually emitted instead of reconstructing its name, in a small

Invalid server input. Expected a string.behavior for non-string inputs is preserved.Scope note: the issue also raises a separate, related point about passing
