vp devis the current default logic of the vite dev server, and we have not made any modifications.shqingda commentedon Mar 13, 2026
Same problem.
vp run devandvp dev apps/websitework fine, butvp devis hitting a 404.cpojer commentedon Mar 16, 2026
No, it should not fail, it should list all the projects where you can start a Vite dev server in, and run it there, interactively just like
vp run.connorshea commentedon Mar 22, 2026
Just wasted an hour trying to figure out what in the heck was wrong with the oxc website repo :') #1105
I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, or if it's a problem caused by vitepress usage in the oxc website repo?
At the very least this should hard-error if there's nothing being hosted. Right now it looks like it's working and there's no indication whatsoever as to what possible problem may exist.

The instructions at https://voidzero.dev/posts/announcing-vite-plus-alpha suggest that
vp create,vp install, andvp devshould work, and don't caveat that a monorepo would cause problems with that flow.Boshen commentedon May 18, 2026
We don't know what the solution is yet but we should do something to mitigate the confusion.
