Runs before certain build folders are available

[gregg-cbs]

I have a nuxt3 project and I want to copy a static file into the .output/server/ folder.

It seems the copy plugin runs before the build is complete:

Here is a video the plugin copying the file (orders.json) and then it gets removed as the build progresses:

vite-plugin-copy.mp4

Is there any way around this?

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
import { viteStaticCopy } from 'vite-plugin-static-copy'
import { normalizePath } from 'vite'
import path from 'node:path'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  pages: true,
  modules: ["nuxt-windicss"],
  vite: {
    plugins: [
      viteStaticCopy({
        targets: [
          {
            src: normalizePath(path.resolve(__dirname, 'data/orders.json')),
            dest: path.resolve(__dirname, '.output')
          }
        ]
      })
    ] 
  }
})

I don't know about how vite plugins work with nuxt. But I guess you need to use this plugin when building the SSR bundle.
