Build Error: could not find app javascript in index.html

See original GitHub issue

In Ghost we have a requirement to publish both development and production html/js/css files in a single package so we have a setup that generates files with different names and custom {{content-for}} hooks for inserting the right <script> and <link> tags.

Following the setup instructions in the readme, for a development build I see the following error:

>> Build Error (WaitForTrees)
>> could not find app javascript in index.html

=================================================================================

Is there some additional config needed in order to tell Embroider where to find the JS files?

@lifeart this was a git clone; yarn install; yarn compile then linking of @embroider/{core,compat,webpack} into my project. I’ve tried a yarn clean; yarn compile just in case but still the same error

I’ve hit missing trailing slash issue with rootURL as well.
