Apps that deploy normally under Pages will not deploy on Workers

Has anyone tried to address the "Deploying to Cloudflare's global network", the error that occurs when trying to build and deploy apps to Workers? There's no documentation or any help anywhere. Here is the error: npm warn exec The following package was not found and will be installed: [email protected] 14:05:18.268
14:05:18.268 ⛅️ wrangler 4.18.0 14:05:18.269 ─────────────────── 14:05:18.274
14:05:18.342 ✘ [ERROR] Missing entry-point to Worker script or to assets directory This is frustrating because Cloudflare indicates ending support for Pages (Which I don't get - but okay) and wants everyone to use Workers - but builds fail and there's no support or documentation. I can deploy everywhere else (Google Cloud, AWS, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Render, Azure Static Apps, Digital Ocean) EVERYWHERE!!!!! -- Except Cloudflare Workers - What am I missing? and why is Cloudflare ending Pages support? I want to use Cloudflare because the ease of DNS and security, but I am FORCED to use someone else until we figure this out.

Do you have a link to your repo you can share?

Yes - This simple "Hello World" project will build and work on every platform including Cloudflare Pages without any errors - But bombs out on Cloudflare Workers. https://github.com/WarithNiallah/HelloWorld

For Workers, you need a wrangler.json in your repo, to tell wrangler which directory to upload

Thanks - Is this documented somewhere, I'd like to try it.

Here's a link to the config docs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/#assets You should just need something like:

{
  "name": "helloworld",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-06-02",
  "assets":
    "directory": "dist" // or whatever your output directory is
  }
}

{
  "name": "helloworld",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-06-02",
  "assets":
    "directory": "dist" // or whatever your output directory is
  }
}

Thanks - I will try this now. Hope this works! (Looks like the brackets might be off, but I get the idea) - I'll report back ASAP

Oops, I forgot a comma after the name...

Cloudflare is causing more work and configuration errors due to an Executive decision. It's just easier to deploy elsewhere. I gave up.
