Using vite-plugin-static-copy in vite.config.js

[orangecoloured]

I have a number of files that I need to copy into the build directory. Images, html files, scripts etc. They need to be accessible via someurl.com/bla-bla/file. It's working. Files are being moved where needed. But I noticed that the output directory has them two times: in the client and in the server folders.

Is this normal? Can I make it copy them only once to client? Something like having the copy script only in vite.config.client.js?

I can't have them in static folder, because some of the assets are being generated on build stage and most of them are being minified and optimised. Having them in static will make them simply being transferred without any processing.

I noticed that there are two runs happening: vite v5.0.10 building SSR bundle for production... and vite v5.0.10 building for production.... But the process.env and defineConfig's parameters are identical on both runs. So there's no way to use any prop to conditionally add the vite-plugin-static-copy script.

UPDATE
After I deployed to Netlify I guess the whole issues got "fixed". There's no duplication. Seems to depend on the adapter. But still would be nice to be able to control the execution of scripts depending on the build stage.
