files after built can not be opened directly in browser

files after built can not be opened directly in browser, and can not be used in electron. we made some vuepress documents and hope to can be opened directly in browser or electron. but not deployed on a web server. how should we do?

Of course you cannot do that, you can only serve vuepress dist files under a static server. e.g. express.static or koa-static.

BTW, please follow the issue reporting guidelines.

@ulivz you sure ? because it was doing in vue projects with some configuration like

build: {
    ...
    assetsPublicPath: '',
    ...
  }

and then was possible to use project directly in browser or in some standart ftp.

@cihanzengin

It's useful when you deploy your site to a root URL, But If your site is deployed to a non-root URL, you will need to set the base(i.e. PublicPath), so setting default PublicPath to '' doesn't solve the problem.

At the same time, the real production environment also uses a static server, so please use static server.

@ulivz what is the static server mean ?
I'm using standard linux hosting. So may i need to some extra configuration on my hosting?
Because using vuepress project just on heroku, digital ocean etc some specific hosting providers too not logical.

@ulivz i understand now the point :) sorry. Yes when i upload content of dist folder to root of my ftp everything works well.

now question is: where and with which configuration i can upload my builded vuepress projects to subfolder. not the root folder ?

@cihanzengin You should check out base config.
