Current behavior 😯

initializing the basic template, and enabling prerender with this vite config (setting ssr: true doesn't change things):

import { defineConfig } from "@solidjs/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  start: {
    server: {
      prerender: {
        crawlLinks: true, // (or routes: ["/"], both break)
      },
    },
  },
});

then running npm run build gives this error:

Expected behavior 🤔

I expected not getting an error here

Steps to reproduce 🕹

Steps:

1. npm create solid
2. choose bare
3. update vite.config.ts with crawlLinks flag
4. npm install (important step, as yarn, pnpm i or bun i will work as expected)
5. npm run build

@atilafassina have you managed to prerender anything so far with start/vinxi?

[ryansolid]

Interestingly our docs are pre-rendered using this technique. And all CSR uses prerendering. Maybe this is a combo with server functions. That compiler error looks similar to when you access a server function that hasn't been transformed.

[birkskyum]

Great point. I used the solid-start docs to narrow down what goes wrong, and it's quite odd, but I've found that it breaks as explained above only when using npm i (tested the versions bundled with Node 18/20). Using yarn, pnpm i or bun i (like in the case of the solid-start/docs with pnpm), before either of pnpm/yarn/npm run build will work as expected.

[ryansolid]

Hmm.. I wonder if this is why @nksaraf had the resolution code (that was breaking prerendering for me) before. What was happening before was completely different so I can't use that as any basis. But its odd that package manager would impact this so.

[nksaraf]

This usually means something went wrong with the fs-router.. i'll look into it ,gotta admit haven't used npm in a while. Wondering if I can reproduce this in a stackblitz.

[birkskyum]

I haven't been able to run the basic example of start 0.4 in stackblitz as is (no prerender flags), because I get this error:

[h3] [unhandled] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'assets')
    at get assets [as assets] (/home/projects/pariwmzoo.github/node_modules/.pnpm/@solidjs+start@0.4.2_solid-js@1.8.7_vinxi@0.0.54_vite@5.0.10/node_modules/@solidjs/start/server/StartServer.tsx:50:109)

[nksaraf]

@birkskyum I tried your repro setup:

Seems to work for me.. Mind making a repo or something on stackblitz with the error you are describing. Have you got the latest versions of stuff?

[brenelz]

I was able to replicate on "vinxi": "0.0.52" but 0.0.54 seems to have it fixed

I think you need ssr: false to replicate

[birkskyum]

@brenelz , you're very right - 0.0.53 was the latest when I opened the ticket, and updating to 0.0.54 did the trick. Thanks you all

Sorry @birkskyum. I was absolutely disconnected on vacation, only catching up with things now... 😬
