Okay, in vite.config.js:

    root: ".",
    base: "/foundryDev/systems/pf1/",
    publicDir: resolve("public"),
    server: {
      port: 30001,
      open: true,
      proxy: {
        "^(?!/foundryDev/systems/pf1)": "http://localhost:30000/",
        "/foundryDev/socket.io": {
          target: "ws://localhost:30000",

    root: ".",
    base: "/foundryDev/systems/pf1/",
    publicDir: resolve("public"),
    server: {
      port: 30001,
      open: true,
      proxy: {
        "^(?!/foundryDev/systems/pf1)": "http://localhost:30000/",
        "/foundryDev/socket.io": {
          target: "ws://localhost:30000",

Was just doing those on my own :p

The console should then have an entry [vite] connected. Somewhere at the top, a little below the Foundry logo

Mana•3y ago

It's there, yeah.

Ethaks•3y ago

Or at least a [vite] connecting... almost at the top of the log. Looks like the template reloading suffers when a routePrefix is added though

Mana•3y ago

If it fails to detect the prefix, then yeah, it wouldn't find things correctly.

Ethaks•3y ago

Since it relies on base, which should not include the routePrefix within Foundry. Welp, that I can work with though.

Mana•3y ago

The page launched by the serve command in browser also lacks the prefix, so it kinda just splats on 404 or similar.

Ethaks•3y ago

The whole setup is absolutely not built with a routePrefix in mind 😄

Mana•3y ago

Not that I ever use that, since it launches firefox for me, which is there just to not mess my tabs in the browser I actually use.

Ethaks•3y ago

This will require some tinkering, but I think adding an option to foundryconfig.json and then handling base and its dependants accordingly should be quite possible.

Mana•3y ago

While at it, could you add option to not open it in a browser?

Ethaks•3y ago

Yep, might as well I added routePrefix handling to the lang-reload branch as that one already included some tooling changes. It should now be possible to have a foundryconfig.json file like

{
  "routePrefix": "foundryDev"
}

{
  "routePrefix": "foundryDev"
}

and get a working Vite development server including template hot reloading. openBrowser is a boolean option, but I set the default to false so you should not need to manually set it.
