hey - can you share your app that you are calling?

#

(and more about how you are calling the app?)

warm sphinx
#

Shure! It's a new app just to try litestar-vite

# app.py
from litestar import Litestar, get


@get("/")
async def index() -> str:
    return "Hello, world!"

app = Litestar([index])

uv run litestar run works (installing litestar[standard] )

but when run uv run litestar assets init --template htmx
gets

Using Litestar app from app:app

The docs are having a moment, i see. Otherwise, you'd be able to see this on the actually github pages

Here's the output i get when i run this, fwiw:
