Hi @cedar bolt. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Astro allows you to control the location of all build output assets using the build.assets configuration option. By default, Astro v2.0 moves and unifies the location of all build output assets to a new _astro/ folder. If you want to change this location, you can do so in your Astro configuration file.
However, please note that there is a known bug with the outDir configuration property that can create an infinite loop of folders when you specify it in the Astro config and try to run the build command. This issue has been reported for Astro version 2.3.0.
Here are the relevant extracts from the documentation and GitHub issues:
- Astro v2.0 Breaking Changes (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/upgrade-to/v2#changed-_astro-folder-for-build-assets)
- GitHub Issue for Known Bug (https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/6904)
Please make sure to keep an eye on the GitHub issue for updates and potential fixes.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Astro allows you to customize output filenames using entryFileNames, chunkFileNames, and assetFileNames in a vite.build.rollupOptions entry in your astro.config.* file. However, the documentation does not provide specific instructions on how to remove the leading "/" from the output file location.
Here is an example of how you can customize output filenames:
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config'
export default defineConfig({
vite: {
build: {
rollupOptions: {
output: {
entryFileNames: 'entry.[hash].js',
chunkFileNames: 'chunks/chunk.[hash].js',
assetFileNames: 'assets/asset.[hash][extname]',
},
},
},
},
})
In this example, the output filenames are customized to include a hash value for cache busting. You might be able to modify these options to remove the leading "/" from the output file location, but this is not explicitly stated in the documentation.
