404s on chunks that are then found?

[thedamon]

I have a project that is using vite but not a node project.. we're building the assets in a separate space for building our front-end code and then moving them to a different folder after.
I notice everything is working, but in my console i see it is attempting to load:

localhost:1919/chunk.js // 404
then loading
localhost:1919/path/to/assets/chunkjs // 200

is this just vite 'being nice' because i've mixed up my config? I think it's maybe because I do not have a 'base' set in my config, but I'm curious what's going on

I have now added the 'base' option and still seeing the same behaviour where each package will 404 off root but then be found. I expected that would make it look in the path specified by base 🤔
