Even tho I run npm run build without an issue, when I try to open the app (192.168.1.17:8080), it throws “Unable to locate file in Vite manifest: resources/css/app.css”. This error only happens when trying to serve on the local network.

Laravel: 10.46.0
Vite: 5.0.0

    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
    },

commands ran:

npm run build –> success, no error
php artisan serve --host=192.168.1.17 --host=8080 –> success, no error
but when I open the site, it throws Unable to locate file in Vite manifest: resourcescssapp.css..
( I use @vite(['resourcescssapp.css', 'resourcesjsapp.js']) in my blade file, as instructed in the documentation )

If I run npm run dev, the site loads, but no css-js is available (just the barebone html is loaded in).

The main reason I want to serve to the local network, so I can test how difficult it actually is to reach/see buttons/forms on mobile/tablet, etc. (yes, I know devtools exists, but we noticed that sometimes its very inaccurate, so I want to test on my actual phone to get the actual feel of it.)

Tried:
npm run dev,
npm run dev -- --host, (as instructed in other posts)
npm run build,
php artisan serve --host=192.168.1.17, (with and without specifying a port)
php artisan optimize:clear,
composer clearcache,
composer dump-autoload,

restarting, checking if ports are open to local network (they are), adding

server: {
            host: true
          }

to vite.config.js,

but none of them succeeded.

I’ve also looked through several other stack posts, reddit posts, and other forum posts about this issue, but none served with a working solution.

It should work, because I’ve done this before a few months ago, and then all I had to do was serve on my local ip, npm run build, and it worked. Now it doesn’t work.
