`Error: [vite] cannot find entry point module 'file://...'` on Windows with SSR #29424

alan-agius4 · 2025-01-20T21:10:27Z

I updated all my projects to use "@angular/core": "19.1.2" & "@angular/cli": "19.1.3". But now when I start the dev server using "ng serve" and visit the localhost:4200, the nodejs server crashes with the following error:

`

All my projects are using tailwind CSS and I've also enabled provideExperimentalZonelessChangeDetection() .

This problem goes away if I use ng serve --no-hmr.

Here are my dependencies

similar problem for me... I think 'angular-calendar' is including the problematic import in my repo, never had a problem with it before. It works with latest cli (19.1.3), but not with latest angular (19.1.2). Downgrading angular to 19.1.1 fixes it...

+1

The `virtualProjectRoot` is normalized, but `sourcePath` is not, leading to mismatched path slashes and related issues. Closes angular#29424

I created a new deafult app, only ( just html hello ) and when i ran ng serve got same error:
Error: [vite] cannot find entry point module 'file:///D:/0.Create/Angular/ssr-hello/ssrhello/.angular/vite-root/ssrhello/@ng/component?c=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts%40AppComponent&t=1737451488230'.

}

using ng serve --no-hmr bypasses this error because I beleive the source of the issue is in the Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

The `virtualProjectRoot` is normalized, but `sourcePath` is not, leading to mismatched path slashes and related issues. Closes #29424 (cherry picked from commit abb186a)

ahmedmohamedrashad01 · 2025-01-22T03:52:43Z

I have the same issue, but if I run this command ng s -o --no-hmr
the app is working fine without any issue

quedicesebas · 2025-01-24T18:22:06Z

Not fixed for me.

alan-agius4 · 2025-01-24T18:26:21Z

@quedicesebas please provide the output of ng version.

@quedicesebas please provide the output of ng version.

But correction. The error is not shown, but the app is not loading, showing Cannot GET / in the browser. If I press F5 (reload), loads normally :S

alan-agius4 · 2025-01-24T21:55:24Z

@quedicesebas, that seems unrelated to this, we haven’t had similar reports. Please file a new issue with a minimal reproduction. Thanks.

gnibeda · 2025-01-27T16:46:48Z

Maybe I have a different case. I need SSR only for prod build, but not in dev mode.
In my case I've got the same error due to CLI trying to access src/main.server.ts with disabled SSR.

Solved it by moving "server": "src/main.server.ts", to production configuration.

Details:
in angular.json I've set ssr to false for development configuration:

"development": {
    "ssr": false,

CLI still tries to access src/main.server.ts (why in the name of god, if ssr is disabled in configuration???)

So I've moved "server": "src/main.server.ts", from architect/build/options to architect/build/configurations/production.
Now ng serve works fine and doesn't try to access src/main.server.ts.

CarlosTorrecillas · 2025-02-03T14:14:48Z

@gnibeda Thanks, that worked for me! It looks like if you have disabled SSR you have to move the related configuration to the section that is really using it, PROD. I had the exact same use case and it now works
