Functions prod vs dev
So i was following thie pages-functions guide:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/functions/get-started/
seems easy.. put in
/functions folder and you good to go.
so for the sake of checking its working copied the function from the guide.
/functions/helloworld.js
long story short... when im deploying it localy (wrangler)
it works (http://localhost:8788/helloworld).
When i deploy to cloudflare it does't work, it shows the 404 page of the project.
https://my-cf-domain.com/helloworld
Anyone any idea why? 🙏Cloudflare Docs

It took me a while to find this as well
https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/get-started/direct-upload/#functions
Drag and drop deployments made from the Cloudflare dashboard do not currently support compiling a functions folder of Pages Functions. To deploy a functions folder, you must use Wrangler. When deploying a project using Wrangler, if a functions folder exists where the command is run, that functions folder will be uploaded with the project.
I created this minimal repo to try it out

Repo deployed manually using wrangler https://pages-function-7xk.pages.dev/
Same repo auto-deployed via link to GitHub https://pages-function-gh.pages.dev/
My setup is a SolidStart project.. maybe somethign with the config masses this up :\
if you can share the repo (or a stripped down copy which has the same problem), and details of how you deploy to Cloudflare, we could take a closer look.
My understanding is that if you're using the preset: "cloudflare-pages" then solid will generate _worker.js in dist, which will override the functions directory when you deploy that.
@LoLesttK It was not obvious to me from the solid docs how to force solid to generate a static-only bundle (no server, no preset). If that's what you're doing please share your app.config and clarify how you are building and deploying to pages.
yes the build generates a _worker.js file...
totally my skill issue..
i was assuming i needed to configure it manually and file routing was the default.
Thank you so much for help !🙏
aah - totally understandable - these starters are not super-clear about when they give you a static site or expect some server rendering.

Got something working with no preset, no server - just SSG + pages functions

oh thats dope!
i've tried that and it worked.
Only thing is taking the Start part of the SolidStart and leaves us with Solid.
which is fine because the workers just can be used as the backend.
Youre a legend man! 😄
