Issue with system json file
Hey there!
I am trying to figure it out why is my system json file is screaming at me that is not parsing correctly. I hope that is a simple mistake on my part but I can't see it
Link to the
system.json file.
Thank you!GitHub

What kind of error are you getting and where? Is Foundry complaining about it, your IDE, etc...?
probably that
media has an empty object in it
IIRC, foundry won't load a module or system if it can't find the files specified in esmodules, but the vite config is still outputting to lancer.mjs
Yeah that would probably be a possible error too
I wonder where they got the Vite config haha
Oh,
grid.distance and grid.units probably causes errors too. You'll want to do this instead:
Not sure, maybe
I don't think it's normally valid in JSON, is it? I wouldn't be too surprised if Foundry applied their usual dot-notation parser to it, though.
it's 'valid' but it wouldn't automatically expand
Okay then, yeah
would still throw an error in Foundry if they don't expand it
Thanks for checking guys
Foundry is complaining
Ok, I figure it out why is this causing
For some reason
vite build is not copying other stuff such as css file and mjs file in distribution folder
Which is weird when checking the output
Since I am basically copying a lancer repo for my dev, would be better to ask there instead?It's not outputting a style.css because your scss file is completely empty. Put some rules in it and you'll get the output when you run the build. I don't know that the lancer build system is the best bet to start from tbh. It's quite old and has some technical debt and unreproduceable behaviors. Typhonjs has a template with a vite config and iirc the pf2e system also uses vite (but i can't vouch for whether it's suitable for a template).
Case in point on unreproduceable stuff is the fact that more or less the same config is outputting a .js instead of .mjs entrypoint.
You've got two of the Lancer devs in here already, I think here is better than the Lancer channel. 😉
I'll echo Bolts - I generally advise people to not use Lancer as an example for new projects. It's big and complex and has a fair amount of tech debt.
That said, this is a forum for questions, so keep asking your questions.
Which project is great as a template then?
