ng-serve: bundle main.js loaded instead of public/main.js

[mauriziocescon]

Command

serve

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

19.0.0 (not sure which one changed the behaviour... but for sure 19.0.0 was fine)

Description

Hey!

It seems to me the current ng serve (cli 19.0.6) has a problem loading any file named main.js saved in the public folder. The issue is very easy to reproduce:

• create a new project,
• save a simple main.js in public/test,
• run ng serve
• open http://localhost:4200/test/main.js,
• the main.js from the bundle is loaded.

Minimal Reproduction

• create a new project,
• save a simple main.js in public/test,
• run ng serve,
• open http://localhost:4200/test/main.js,
• the main.js from the bundle is loaded.

Your Environment

cli 19.0.6
