Tanstack Start attempting to run the build fails

Hi everyone, I am working on an app using Tanstack Start. I followed the setup instructions here: https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/start/getting-started I noticed that running the dev, and build commands (vinxi dev and vinxi build) run fine, however attempting to run vinxi start after a build causes the error reported on this issue: https://github.com/nksaraf/vinxi/issues/177 I am not sure if this is a vinxi error or related to Tanstack Start. Did any one else run into this issue? Finally, here is a minimal reproducible repo: https://github.com/willenleal/tsstart-run-build-error Thank you in advance, I wanted to ask here before opening an issue, maybe I am missing something 🙂

We've just released a couple fixes. They aren't targetted at this specificall, but it'll be worth upgrading and confirming the build status.

Hey, I figured out the issue! 😅 Turns out the default deployment preset is Vercel. So when I ran vinxi start, it was looking for the .output folder, which doesn’t exist in Vercel deployments. After checking the Vinxi repo (https://github.com/nksaraf/vinxi/blob/main/packages/vinxi/bin/cli.mjs), I noticed that node-server is the default for both build and start. However, in Tanstack, the build and start environments aren’t synced by default. I fixed it by adding the config below, and now everything works! 🎉 I think if would be helpful to add this information to the docs.

app.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@tanstack/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  deployment: {
    preset: "node-server",
  },
});

app.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@tanstack/start/config";

export default defineConfig({
  deployment: {
    preset: "node-server",
  },
});

you are very welcome to provide a PR to the docs.

@Manuel Schiller sounds good! I can open a PR. Should I add this to the getting started section?

foreign-sapphire•12mo ago

not sure where to put it best, try that and we'll review then

Is possible to detect the current environment and auto choose the correct preset by default?

xenial-black•12mo ago

definitely can explore this, its just not the biggest priority atm. we've still got a major rewrite of server functions thats in the works for the timebeing i'm updating the docs with the different tested deployment options

@Willen thank you for your PR. I reviewed it and felt it best went into the hosting guide. Its since been updated and merged. https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/start/hosting/#bun
