build --watch error

[boka18]

Hey!

First of all - great yt tutorial!
But, I have a bit of a trouble running build --watch while developing the chrome extension. I always get this error:

Generated an empty chunk: "manifest"

[chrome-extension] There were problems with the extension manifest.                      

Any ideas why is this happening or how to fix it?

Hey there, @boka18 thanks! Do you have a reproduction link so I can help you with it?

[boka18]

Thanks for the reply @alvarosaburido !

I don't have a reproduction link, but you should be able to reproduce the error directly on your codebase.
Just run yarn build --watch

But, by the looks of it, it's a known issue: StarkShang/vite-plugin-chrome-extension#6

The author of this library has pushed some changes on the refactor branch but it's still not working as expected.
