Updated path for the Asset manifest file?

[DavidGarciaCat]

Good day,

Working on a new project, the customer's hosting requires the "public" folder to be renamed as "web".

Based on the Symfony website, the procedure is to set it as part of the composer.json file:

https://symfony.com/doc/current/configuration/override_dir_structure.html#override-the-public-directory

{
    "...": "...",
    "extra": {
        "...": "...",
        "public-dir": "web",
    }
}

After installing the Sonata Admin Bundle, I get this error message:

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Asset manifest file ".../public/build/manifest.json" does not exist. Did you forget to build the assets with npm or yarn?").

Is there a way to change the Bundle's configuration to use the "web" folder instead of the "public" folder when running the composer install -o command, so the asset resources are installed into the expected folder?

Thanks,

Hi,

this is very likely not an issues with sonata admin but with the installed webpack encore bundle.

You should have a configuration file under config/packages/webpack_encore.yaml. There you need to update the output_path and the json_manifest_path (the later is causing your error).

👍 I'll check it in a moment and post an update here - thanks for the tip!

Three updates needed:

// webpack.config.js

Encore
    // directory where compiled assets will be stored
-    .setOutputPath('public/build/')
+    .setOutputPath('web/build/')

# config/packages/webpack_encore.yaml

webpack_encore:
    # The path where Encore is building the assets - i.e. Encore.setOutputPath()
-    output_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/public/build'
+    output_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/web/build'

# config/packages/webpack_encore.yaml

framework:
    assets:
-        json_manifest_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/public/build/manifest.json'
+        json_manifest_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/web/build/manifest.json'
